The case of plagiarism occurs when someone intentionally or knowingly uses the work of others or mentions it without citing the concerning references.
The Asian Society measures plagiarism for Publication, Higher Education & Research (ASPHER) on the percentage of its use. However, if the plagiarism is found by the editorial board member, reviewer, editor etc., at the review stage or page off-stage, the author will immediately be notified.
We request the author to re-write or source the references from where the content has been taken. Also, if there is more than 25% plagiarism, the article may be rejected, and the same will be notified to the author.
The successfully submitted manuscripts for publication are assessed for plagiarism before starting the review.
To deal with plagiarism, they have been categorised to various extents. .
< 5% Plagiarism: At this point, the paper will be given an ID and sent to the author for editing the content which has plagiarism
5- 30% Plagiarism: The paper will not get an ID at this plagiarism range and will be sent back to the author for content modification.
> 30% Plagiarism: The manuscript will be refused without any review in this scenario. The authors will be alerted and asked to modify and resubmit it.
It is generally witnessed that if the plagiarism is more than 30%, the author doesn't revise it. Therefore, they're rejected. However, you are more than welcome to edit and address the plagiarism issues.
In some rare scenarios, plagiarism is ruled out after publication. In this case, the concerned journal will initiate an investigation. The authorities will contact the author's institute and funding agencies. The plagiarism issue will be marked on each page in the PDF. Also, the paper can be officially cancelled if plagiarism is very high.
When you successfully submit the paper to the journal, it is generally understood that the manuscript has original work and is not considered anywhere else.
Also, plagiarism includes duplicate publication of the author's work in some parts without proper citation. But, again, the high-level anti-plagiarism software goes through millions of research to narrow down such copying issues.
Moreover, plagiarism falsifies views, statements, and other creative expressions as one's own. Therefore, it is also a representation of the breach of copyright law.
Duplicating the content from other citations which have similar topics as yours. The writer may use a complete or part of the research in their content.
Using the assumptions, conclusions, figures, tables, equations, graphics and experimentations cited by others in their research. Also, the mention of the same sentences which are used by others
Use of matching text which is downloaded from the internet.
Downloading and adding the content's figures, pictures, or diagrams without providing credit.
Self-plagiarism is also a very talked-about issue. Self-plagiarism is defined when there is verbatim or near-verbatim reuse of the work from one's copyrighted work or without proper citation. Remember that self-plagiarism does not apply to journals based on the author's previously copyrighted work (e.g., appearing in conference proceedings) where a direct connection is made to the previous journal. Such reuse does not demand quotation marks to outline the reused text but needs the source to be cited.
