Plagiarism Detection

The use of third parties’ ideas or words in their original form or slightly changed without a proper citation is considered as “plagiarism” and will not be tolerated.

Reuse of the author’s own previously published words, with or without a citation, is regarded as self-plagiarism. All manuscripts received must be submitted with the Originality Report, which compares the content of the manuscript with the other published materials. In the case of a solid similarity to other published materials, the submitted materials are directly rejected and will not be considered for publication.

Committed to the protection and enhancement of the peer review process, TURJE has an obligation to assist the scientific community in all aspects of publishing ethics, especially in cases of (suspected) duplicate submission or plagiarism.
