Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is the unethical practice of using another author’s ideas, words, or work without proper acknowledgment. It includes both intentional and accidental use of previously published content without citation. Manuscripts showing significant plagiarism reflect poor research quality and will be rejected or returned for revision by the editor.
- All manuscripts submitted to RAME Publishers journals undergo rigorous plagiarism screening before publication.
- Accepted papers are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) by Crossref in association with Informatics Publishing Limited.
- Authors must ensure that the similarity index of their submitted paper does not exceed 20%.
- No copyrighted materials may be used without obtaining appropriate permission.
- All manuscripts are checked using plagiarism detection software such as iThenticate and/or Plagiarism X.
To avoid plagiarism, authors confirm that:
- They understand plagiarism is against professional and ethical standards.
- They will not copy-paste text verbatim from reference papers but will paraphrase ideas in their own words.
- All quoted sources are properly cited both in-text and in the reference section.
- They maintain records of all references and citations using tools such as EndNote or Mendeley.
- They follow the citation style specified by the journal (e.g., IEEE, APA, MLA, Chicago).
- They avoid self-plagiarism and will not reuse portions of previously published work without citation.
- No copyrighted materials are used without permission.
- They take full responsibility for all opinions expressed and will resolve any disputes arising from improper use of copyrighted material.
