Policy of Screening for Plagiarism

Plagiarism poses a significant threat to the integrity of scientific publications, including the Journal Gema Kadaster. Ensuring the originality of submitted work is paramount, and this can be achieved through rigorous plagiarism screening and the rejection of any material suspected of being plagiarized. To maximize the effectiveness of this process, all articles submitted to the Journal Gema Kadaster undergo a comprehensive plagiarism detection process before they are reviewed further.

The Journal Gema Kadaster employs Turnitin Software, a leading plagiarism detection tool, to evaluate the level of plagiarism in submitted articles. This software compares the submitted content against a vast database of academic papers, publications, and internet sources to identify any similarities that may indicate plagiarism.

Upon submission, each article is subjected to the Turnitin check. If the similarity index exceeds acceptable thresholds or if the software flags significant overlaps with existing works, the editorial team will conduct a detailed review to determine the extent and context of the similarities. Authors may be contacted for clarification or to provide additional references to ensure proper attribution.

In cases where plagiarism is detected, the article will be immediately rejected, and the authors will be informed of the reasons for rejection. The Journal Gema Kadaster maintains a strict policy against plagiarism to uphold the quality and credibility of the research it publishes. Authors are encouraged to use plagiarism detection tools before submission to ensure their work adheres to ethical standards and to avoid any potential issues during the review process.

Furthermore, if authors wish to check their articles for plagiarism before submission, they can request assistance from the Journal Gema Kadaster. The editorial team can facilitate a preliminary plagiarism check using Turnitin, providing authors with a report that highlights any areas of concern. This proactive step can help authors address potential issues and ensure their submissions meet the journal’s stringent requirements for originality.

By implementing these measures, the Journal Gema Kadaster aims to foster a culture of academic integrity and contribute to the advancement of original, high-quality research in the field.
