Plagiarism and Unethical Publishing Behavior

Manuscripts submitted to Dicle University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Journal are scanned with Intihal.Net plagiarism detection system, IThenticate or Turnitin  software program before publishing process. Manuscripts with a similarity rate of 20% (excluding References) and below are accepted for publication. Articles exceeding this rate are examined in detail and, if necessary, sent back to the authors for review or correction. If plagiarism or unethical publishing behavior is detected, the publication is rejected.

Some unethical publishing behaviors are listed below:

• Indicating individuals who did not contribute to the study as authors.

• Not stating the individuals who contributed to the study as authors.

• Not stating if the article was produced from the author's master's/doctoral thesis or a project.

• Salamization, that is, publishing more than one article from a single study.

• Failure to declare conflicts of interest regarding submitted articles. Deciphering the double-blind referee process.

Explanations regarding the application of the articles of the TR Index criteria regarding ethical rules are given below.

The articles related to the Code of Ethics, which were included in the criteria in previous years, were detailed with explanations in 2020, and assuming that permissions were obtained for studies requiring ethics committee permission in the field of research, the issue of "included information about the permission in the article" was added to the criteria. However, as understood from the feedback, detailed information regarding Ethics Committee Permissions is needed. For this reason, a comprehensive study will later be shared on the TR Index website and announced to you.

We present below information that we think will be helpful, based on frequently asked questions.

QUESTION: Is ethics committee permission required for all articles?

No. The criteria also state that articles "require Ethics Committee Permission".

Research requiring Ethics Committee permission is as follows.

o All kinds of research carried out with qualitative or quantitative approaches that require collecting data from participants using surveys, interviews, focus group studies, observation, experiment, and interview techniques.

o Use of humans and animals (including materials/data) for experimental or other scientific purposes,

o Clinical studies conducted on humans,

o Research conducted on animals,

o Retrospective studies by the personal data protection law,
Moreover;

o Indicating that an "informed consent form" was obtained in case reports,

o Obtaining and specifying permission from the owners for the use of scales, surveys, and photographs belonging to others,

o Indicating that copyright regulations are complied with for the ideas and artistic works used

QUESTION: Should a retrospective Ethics Committee Permission be obtained for studies completed in previous years and publications produced from the thesis?

Retrospective ethics committee permission is not required for articles that used research data before 2020, were produced from master's/doctoral studies (must be stated in the article), applied for publication to the journal in the previous year, and were accepted but not yet published.

QUESTION: Are these rules of the TR Index restricting publications made outside universities?

No. Researchers who are not university members can also apply to Ethics Committees in their region.

In addition ;
Actions Contrary to Scientific Research and Publication Ethics determined by the Council of Higher Education as the Dicle University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Journal are listed below. It is important to comply with these rules.

d) Re-publication: Presenting duplicate publications as separate publications in academic appointments and promotions,

d) Salamization: Dividing the results of a research into pieces in a way that violates the integrity of the research publishing them in more than one issue, and presenting these publications as separate publications in academic appointments and promotions,

e) Unfair authorship: Including people who do not have an active contribution among the authors or not including people who do, changing the author order in an unjustified and inappropriate way, removing the names of those who have an active contribution from the work in subsequent editions, using their influence to include their names among the authors even though they do not have an active contribution,

(2) Other types of ethical violations include:
a) Not mentioning the supporting persons, institutions, or organizations and their contributions in the publications made as a result of research carried out with support,

Journals must state that they comply with the rules regarding "Publication Ethics", "Research Ethics" and "Obtaining a Legal/Special Permission Certificate" by referring to international standards and opening a separate title for each, both on the web page and in the printed journal.

In articles to be published in journals, it should be stated in the article whether ethics committee permission and/or legal/special permission is required.

If the study requires the use of human and animal subjects, it must be declared that the study was carried out by international declarations, guidelines, etc.
It is mandatory to comply with the Principles of the Declaration of Helsinki in all clinical studies. http://www.wma.net/en/30publications/10policies/b3/index.html).

In such studies, authors are expected to state in the method section that they conducted the study by the principles and that ethics councils and other people participating in the study received "informed consent."

In experimental animal studies, authors must protect animal rights in the method section according to the principles of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and obtain ethics committee approval (http: //www. nap.edu/catalog/5140.html).

In case reports, informed consent of the patient (patient owner) must be obtained. Ethics committee approval information should be stated in the method section, along with the name, date, and number of the committee.
