PLAGIARISM POLICY

An article is considered plagiarism when it incorporates the work of another author without obtaining permission, giving credit, or acknowledging the source. The indications of plagiarism are as follows:

1. Literal copying is a type of plagiarism where an article reproduces another article, either verbatim, partially, or entirely, without obtaining permission from or giving credit to the source. Verbatim duplication is a type of plagiarism that may be readily identified as the act of copying becomes evident when comparing it with the original piece.

2. Substantial copying refers to the act of plagiarising where an article replicates a significant or crucial portion of another article without obtaining permission or giving credit to the source. Significant portions comprise data, methods, and results. If an article has copied a significant portion of another article, even if it is only a small portion, then effectively the article is enabling plagiarism to take place.

3. Paraphrasing involves the act of plagiarising by modifying the sentences of an original article to adapt its ideas. This type of plagiarism is known as paraphrasing, which makes it challenging to identify because the written content has been rephrased.
