Articles submitted to Journal of Management and Economics are subjected to similarity checks using internationally recognized plagiarism detection programs such as ithenticate, etc. The rules adopted in determining the similarity rate are as follows:
The articles sent to the Journal of Management and Economics are checked for similarity by the Editorial Board using plagiarism detection programs before publication. During the submission of the articles to the system, the author uploads the plagiarism report generated by any of the plagiarism programs (IThenticate, Turnitin, Intihal.Net). After the reviewing process is completed, the IThenticate report is generated by the field editors (after the language control) on the last version.
(a) The general similarity rate of the article must be 25% or less. At this stage, articles with a general similarity rate of more than 25% are returned to the author without entering the arbitration process.
(b) In the status that the similarity report result is 25-27% due to the footer and header information and tag sections, in order to reduce the rate below 25%, the tag can be reduced to the required rate by removing the header and footer parts and re-scanning. In legal matters, this rate is 25% in total, limited to the articles on which the legislation is examined and researched, and 2% for each citation is our upper limit.
(c) The similarity rate to a particular source must be less than 2% in the general similarity rate of the article.
(d) Bibliographic materials (bibliography, citations, etc.) are not included in the scan.
(e) Editors can check the similarity during-after the arbitration process at each time of the publication process.
(f) The above-mentioned rules are assumed to be accepted by all authors applying for articles.
