Plagiarism Policy

1. Introduction

The Journal of Management Science Research Review (JMSRR) is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and originality in scientific publishing. Plagiarism, in any form, undermines the credibility of research and the Journal's reputation. This policy outlines the guidelines and procedures for addressing plagiarism-related concerns in submissions to JMSRR.

2. Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of presenting someone else's work, ideas, or intellectual property as one's own without proper attribution. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Copying text, data, figures, or tables from another source without citing the original work.
• Paraphrasing another author's ideas, arguments, or conclusions without citing the source.
• Self-plagiarism, which is reusing or recycling one's own previously published work without referencing it.
• Fabrication or falsification of data or research findings.

3. Detection of Plagiarism

All submitted manuscripts will be screened for plagiarism using plagiarism detection software during the initial review process. JMSRR reserves the right to use additional methods to detect plagiarism, such as manual comparisons with published works.

4. Consequences of Plagiarism

Manuscripts with substantial plagiarized content will be handled as follows:

• Minor plagiarism (Similarity Index below 15%): The authors will be notified and requested to revise the manuscript by properly citing the sources of the plagiarized material. Revisions must be submitted within a specified timeframe.
• Moderate plagiarism (Similarity Index between 15% and 25%): The manuscript will be returned to the authors for major revision and resubmission, or it may be rejected outright.
• Severe plagiarism (Similarity Index above 25%): The manuscript will be rejected immediately. Repeated instances of plagiarism may result in the authors being banned from submitting to JMSRR in the future.

5. Appeals

Authors have the right to appeal a decision of plagiarism if they believe it is incorrect. Appeals should be submitted in writing to the Editor-in-Chief and must clearly explain the reasons for the appeal. The Editor-in-Chief will make a final decision on the appeal after consulting with the Editorial Board.
