Plagiarism and Ethical Publishing Policy

Commitment to Ethical Publishing Practices

The Journal of Next-Generation Research 5.0 (JNGR 5.0) adheres to the highest standards of publication ethics and integrity. The journal follows the principles and best practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to ensure transparency, originality, and ethical conduct in scholarly publishing.

Plagiarism Detection and Screening

To safeguard the originality of published research, JNGR 5.0 routinely screens all submitted manuscripts for plagiarism using recognized plagiarism detection tools.

Manuscripts must demonstrate a similarity index of less than 20%, excluding references, citations, and commonly used methodological phrases.

Actions in Cases of Plagiarism

  • Initial Assessment: Manuscripts exceeding the acceptable similarity threshold are flagged for editorial review.

  • Author Notification: Authors may be contacted to provide clarification, corrections, or revisions where appropriate.

  • Severe Misconduct: In cases of substantial plagiarism, duplicate publication, or unethical reuse of content, the manuscript may be rejected outright. Depending on the severity of the violation, authors may be prohibited from future submissions to the journal.

Author Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for ensuring the ethical integrity of their work, including:

  • Originality: Submitting only original research and appropriately citing all sources.

  • Proper Attribution: Clearly identifying and citing all quoted, paraphrased, or adapted material.

  • Copyright Compliance: Obtaining necessary permissions for the use of copyrighted material and complying with applicable copyright laws.

Policy Enforcement

JNGR 5.0 takes all allegations of plagiarism seriously and investigates them thoroughly in accordance with COPE guidelines. This policy reinforces the journal’s commitment to preserving academic integrity and fostering a culture of honesty, accountability, and ethical scholarship.
