1.1.   For Authors/Readers

1.1.1.                SJUOZ uses the Turnitin Plagiarism Program

SJUOZ uses the Turnitin plagiarism detection program to ensure the originality of all submitted manuscripts. Plagiarism occurs when an individual intentionally copies another person’s work, reproduces content without proper citation, or uses another author’s words or ideas without appropriate quotation marks and references.

1.1.2.                Plagiarism before Publishing

SJUOZ is judging any instance of plagiarism on its point of confinement. In the event that plagiarism is identified by the editorial board, reviewer, editor, supervisor, and so on, in any phase of the article process, earlier or after acceptance, amid editing, or at a galley proof level. We caution the same to the author(s) and will request them to rewrite or refer to the references from where the substance has been taken. If over 20% of the paper is plagiarized, the article will be rejected, and the author will be informed.

1.1.3.                The Plagiarism Check

All submitted original research for article publication is checked for plagiarism after submission and before peer review.

·         Why Manuscripts with >20% Plagiarism are Rejected

When plagiarism exceeds 20%, it is likely that the authors will not modify the original and present the modified version. Notwithstanding, authors are welcome to do the required modifications and present the original copy as a new submission.
