Plagiarism policy

All manuscripts submitted to JMEA (Journal of Mathematics Education and Application) will be screened for plagiarism and similarity before being sent to the review process. The editorial team uses plagiarism detection software to assess the originality of submitted manuscripts.

The editorial team may use Turnitin and other appropriate plagiarism detection tools to check the originality and similarity of manuscripts.

Manuscripts that contain plagiarism, substantial copying, or inappropriate self-plagiarism may be rejected by the journal. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all ideas, statements, data, quotations, and materials taken from other sources are properly cited and acknowledged.

The similarity check is conducted as part of the initial editorial screening. A high similarity score does not automatically indicate plagiarism; the editorial team will examine the similarity report and assess whether the similarities are appropriately cited or constitute plagiarism.

Authors are encouraged to ensure that their manuscripts are original, have not been published elsewhere, and comply with proper academic citation and referencing practices before submission.

Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying someone else’s initial ideas, processes, results or words without explicit acknowledgment of the original author and source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author utilizes a large part of his/her own previously published work without appropriate references. It can range from getting the same manuscript published in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with new data.

Please Note:

  1. Full plagiarism, partial plagiarism, and self-plagiarism are not allowed.
  2. The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and words of others, this has been appropriately cited or quoted.
  3. An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal is unacceptable and unethical publishing behavior.
    Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

The editor will run a plagiarism check using TURNITIN for the submitted articles before sending them to the reviewers. We do not process any plagiarised content. If an article has over 25% plagiarism based on the check result, the article will be rejected.
