Economics and Business Management

Journal Policy on Plagiarism

The journal "Economics and Business Management" publishes only original materials that have not been previously published. To check for plagiarism, "iThenticate" software  is used to monitor and detect text borrowing in submitted manuscripts. Plagiarism in scientific works is a serious violation of the ethical standards governing the interaction between authors, reviewers, editors, publishers, and readers, and it contradicts the principles of publication ethics.

The editorial board carefully examines all cases of plagiarism and reserves the right to exclude manuscripts from the review process if violations are detected. Each article is evaluated for originality. If the originality of the text exceeds 85%, the material may be accepted for consideration. If the originality is between 75% and 85%, the article is returned to the authors for revision, with a recommendation to review the citations and submit a corrected version. If the originality of the article is below 75%, the manuscript is not accepted.

The journal also does not allow the use of more than 3% of material from a single source without proper citation.

The percentage of plagiarism is calculated using special software that checks manuscripts both in the local database and on the internet. The resulting report is thoroughly analyzed by the editorial board.

If plagiarism is detected after publication, the editorial team conducts a further investigation and contacts the author to inform them of the incident. If the ethical violation is confirmed, the article will be retracted.
