IPMU considers the use of another’s ideas, processes, results, or words without clear and proper attribution to be plagiarism. This includes but is not limited to, copying text, paraphrasing without citation, and using another’s research findings without acknowledgment. Plagiarism in any form is a serious violation of professional ethics and can have severe legal and professional repercussions.
All submitted manuscripts must be free from plagiarism. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software to do similarity checking before submitting their manuscript to the journal (please use iThenticate or Turnitin to check the similarity). Editors will also check the similarity of manuscripts in this journal by using Turnitin or iThenticate software. The manuscript will be instantly rejected if there is plagiarism indicated or detected. The final camera-ready should also be checked for similarity rate. The overall similarity rate of a manuscript should not exceed 25 percent, and the similarity rate to a single source shouldn’t exceed 10 percent.
The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. All IPMU journal articles are screened for plagiarism before publication.
