Plagiarism Policy

JPGA maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding plagiarism. Authors must ensure that their submitted manuscripts are entirely original. Any form of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism or duplicate publication of the author's own work without proper citation, is considered unethical and unacceptable.
  • All submitted manuscripts are screened for originality using Turnitin or iThenticate before the peer-review process.
  • The maximum allowable similarity index is 20%.
  • If plagiarism, data fabrication, or redundant publication is detected, the manuscript will be rejected immediately, and the authors may be barred from future submissions.
