Plagiarism detection policy
Publis Editorial is committed to ensuring the originality and integrity of published works. Therefore, all submitted manuscripts will undergo a plagiarism detection process before being sent for peer review. This policy applies to all types of book proposals.
- Plagiarism detection tool
Manuscripts will be analyzed using Plag, a specialized software for similarity detection, to identify potential cases of plagiarism or self-plagiarism. Publis Editorial will not accept similarity levels above 20%. PapersOwl offers an entirely free online plagiarism checker and supports various file formats. Authors are encouraged to use this tool to review their manuscripts before submitting them.
- Authors' responsibility
Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are original and have not been previously published by other press or platforms. Also, please cite any content from different sources.
- Types of detected plagiarism
- Total plagiarism: Presenting someone else’s work as one’s own without modifications.
- Self-plagiarism: Significant reuse of the author's previous work without proper citation.
- Partial plagiarism: Copying sections or ideas without crediting the sources.
- Actions in case of plagiarism
The manuscript will be immediately rejected if plagiarism is detected during the editorial process. If plagiarism is detected after publication, the book will be formally retracted.
