International Journal of Exercise Psychology requires that plagiarism be checked to protect the integrity of any work that has undergone the "Blind Referee Evaluation Process" due to its publication ethics. In this context, Turkish and English copies of each study are subject to plagiarism control of the editorial board.

The plagiarism detection is done by Turnitin and iThenticate softwares. The matches found in each study after plagiarism detection are analysed in detail and those matches with correct reference and cross-reference are sorted. In the next step, the mistakes in the remaining matches are determined and reported to the editorial board. The board, then, makes a final decision in the light of the plagiarism detection report. The author(s) may be asked to correct the mistakes listed in the report or the study may be returned to the author(s).

The maximum 20% plagiarism rate is accepted in the publications sent to journal. Otherwise, the publication sent is returned to the author for correction.
