About Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a serious threat to genuine research. It occurs when someone presents another person’s ideas, words, or works as his or her own without proper acknowledgment or citation. This includes copying passages from other sources without quotation marks, paraphrasing without appropriate attribution, or self-plagiarism, where an author reuses their own previously published work without disclosure. IJASBR uses plagiarism detection software as part of its editorial policy and requires authors to submit original work that has not been published elsewhere and has not been submitted simultaneously to other journals. All sources used must be properly cited, and quotations must be clearly identified. The responsibility for ensuring originality lies with the corresponding author, who must obtain consent from all co-authors and disclose each author’s contributions.

Editors and reviewers play a crucial role in identifying potential instances of plagiarism during the peer‑review process. Submissions found to violate originality standards may be rejected or subjected to formal actions consistent with IJASBR’s policies, which may include sanctions such as corrections, retractions, or more severe measures. To uphold academic integrity, IJASBR emphasizes that all submitted articles are original works, and any reuse of material must be properly cited and transparent.
