Since June 2019 (Volume: 5, Issue: 1), the Artvin Coruh University International Journal of Social Sciences has been examining articles/reviews for plagiarism. Before submitting your manuscript to our journal, it is recommended that you first measure the similarity in your manuscript using appropriate plagiarism detection programs (such as iThenticate, Turnitin, etc.). In this context, articles/reviews submitted to our journal are checked for similarity rates using iThenticate software during the preliminary evaluation phase, and it is deemed reasonable by our Editorial Board that this rate should not exceed 20%, while the similarity rate for any single work should be below 5%. Manuscripts that exceed this threshold will be returned to the author(s).
