The similarity score shows the percentage of plagiarized content in a research paper. In all Brieflands journals, we examine our submitted manuscripts using "iThenticate" which matches sources in the Turnitin databases.
The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, this has been appropriately cited or quoted.
We recommend reviewers in the peer review process thoroughly check and control the similarities and guide authors to avoid similarities with other published materials. It is the most important for reviewers and associate editors to check the files based on the screening done by the publisher.
Our online system detects automatic submissions with high similarity rates and prevents submitting them.
Just before starting the publishing process (during collection), we will check all accepted manuscripts another time.
- The highest responsibility to control and avoid plagiarism is held by the EIC of the journal.
- "Fast reject", "Reject", "Withdraw" and "Retraction" is our approaches for those articles with high similarity rates.
