JEP aims to maintain the highest academic and ethical standards. If the manuscript submitted to JEP violates any of the universal rules of publication ethics, has a high plagiarism rate, violates copyright laws, or is a duplicate submission, the evaluation process will be stopped and the manuscript will be returned to the author. The same author is prohibited from submitting paper to JEP. 

JEP Journal will not accept any plagiarised work. In particular;

-The method in which more than one sentence is changed within a paragraph or section of text or rephrased without proper citation in accordance with scientific rules,

-Re-use of elements of another work without attribution (e.g. figures, tables, statistical data or article organisation, etc.).

-Self-plagiarism: When submitting the article to the journal's official website, the author(s) indicate that the work has not been previously published. Authors should refer to their previous work and indicate how the subsequent work differs from and is based on the conclusions and implications of the previous work.

Authors are required to upload the plagiarism scan report obtained from the Turnitin program to the system when submitting their work to JEP. In this report, the total similarity rate must be below 20%, excluding citations, overlapping text parts of less than 5 words and bibliography, and the similarity rate to a single work must be below 4%. The editor prepares a plagiarism scan report using the Turnitin program to verify the originality of the submitted work.
