PLAGIARISM POLICY

DE FACTO : Journal Of International Multidisciplinary Sciences is trying to help editors verify the originality of submitted manuscripts. As part of this process, selected submitted manuscripts are scanned and compared with the Grammarly® Plagiarism Checker and Turnitin database.

Plagiarism is when an author attempts to pass off someone else work as his or her own. Duplicate publication, sometimes called self-plagiarism, occurs when an author reuses substantial parts of his or her own published work without providing the appropriate references. This can range from getting an identical paper published in multiple journals, to salami-slicing, where authors add small amounts of new data to a previous paper.

PLAGIARISM PRIOR PUBLISHING:

Bharasumba journals will judge any case of plagiarism on its limits. If plagiarism is detected by the editorial board member, reviewer, editor, etc., in any stage of the article process- before or after acceptance then we will alert the same to the author(s) and will ask them to rewrite the content or the to cite the references from where the content has been taken. If more than 20% of the paper is plagiarized- the article may be rejected and the same is notified to the author.

WHEN DOES THE PLAGIARISM CHECK DO?

All the submitted manuscripts for publication are checked for plagiarism after submission and before starting review.

HOW IS PLAGIARISM HANDLED?

The manuscripts in which the plagiarism is detected are handled based on the extent of the plagiarism. >5%

Plagiarism: The manuscript will be given an ID and the manuscript is sent to the author for content revision.

5-30% Plagiarism: The manuscript will be sent back to the author for content revision.
>30% Plagiarism: The manuscript will be rejected without review. The authors are advised to revise the manuscript and resubmit the manuscript.

WHY MANUSCRIPTS WITH >30% PLAGIARISM IS REJECTED:

If the plagiarism is detected by more than 30%, it is found that the authors are very unlikely to revise the manuscript and submit the revised version. However, authors are welcome to do the required revisions and submit the manuscript as a new submission.

ORIGINALITY

By submitting Author(s) manuscript to the journal it is understood that it is an original manuscript and is unpublished work and is not under consideration elsewhere. Plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the author's own work, in whole or in part without proper citation is not tolerated by the journal. Manuscripts submitted to the journal may be checked for originality using anti-plagiarism software.

Plagiarism misrepresents ideas, words, and other creative expression as one's own. Plagiarism represents the violation of copyright law.
