Adyan Journal maintains a strict policy against plagiarism to uphold the integrity and originality of scholarly work.

Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism involves the use of another person's words, ideas, data, or work without proper acknowledgment. This includes:

  • Copying text verbatim from another source without citation.

  • Paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s work without credit.

  • Presenting someone else's research findings or ideas as one’s own.

  • Using figures, tables, or images without proper attribution or permission.

Types of Plagiarism

  • Direct Plagiarism: Copying text without quotation marks and citation.

  • Self-Plagiarism: Republishing one’s own previously published work without acknowledgment or justification.

  • Mosaic Plagiarism: Borrowing phrases from a source without using quotation marks or altering sentence structure while keeping the original meaning.

  • Accidental Plagiarism: Failing to cite sources correctly due to lack of knowledge or oversight.

Plagiarism Screening

All submissions to Adyan Journal are subject to plagiarism screening using specialized plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin, iThenticate, or similar tools) prior to peer review.

Editorial Actions in Case of Plagiarism

  • If plagiarism is detected before publication, the manuscript will be rejected immediately.

  • If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article may be retracted, and the authors may be banned from future submissions.

  • Authors will be given an opportunity to respond to any plagiarism allegations.

Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their work is entirely original and that any borrowed material is properly cited. All authors must confirm, during submission, that the manuscript is free from plagiarism and has not been submitted elsewhere.

Instances of plagiarism will be dealt with seriously, following COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines. This may include:

  • Rejection of manuscript

  • Retraction of published article

  • Notification to the authors' institutions
