Plagiarism Policy

International Journal of Science Education and Cultural Studies Editorial Team acknowledges that plagiarism is unacceptable and has established the following policy detailing specific actions (penalties) to be taken when plagiarism is found in an article submitted for publication in the International Journal of Science Education and Cultural Studies.

Definition: Plagiarism is the intentional or unintentional act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit or value for scientific work by citing any or all of another party's work and/or scientific work recognized as its scientific work, without appropriately and fully indicating the source.

For that, then: Articles must be original, have never been published and are not currently being evaluated for publication elsewhere. Material acquired verbally from other sources must be clearly noted to distinguish it from the original text. The journals use industry-standard software "Turnitin" to verify all submissions for plagiarism, and if plagiarism is discovered during the peer review process, the manuscript may be rejected. In cases where plagiarism is discovered after publication, an investigation will be conducted, and appropriate action will be taken in accordance with the journals' policies.
