Plagiarism Policy for the Involvement International Journal of Business

At the Involvement International Journal of Business, we uphold the principles of academic integrity, and plagiarism is considered a grave violation of these principles. Plagiarism involves presenting someone else's work, ideas, or words as one's own without proper attribution. In our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of ethical publishing, we have established a comprehensive plagiarism policy.

Authors submitting manuscripts to our journal are expected to adhere to ethical writing practices. Proper citation and attribution of sources are crucial to avoiding plagiarism. We utilize plagiarism detection tools during the manuscript evaluation process to ensure the originality of submissions. Any suspected cases of plagiarism undergo thorough investigation.

The consequences of plagiarism are severe. If plagiarism is identified in a submitted manuscript, it will be promptly rejected. In cases where plagiarism is discovered post-publication, the article will be retracted, and corrective measures will be taken in accordance with the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Authors bear the primary responsibility for ensuring the originality of their work. They must appropriately cite and attribute the work of others, and any prior publications or significant overlaps with previously published works should be disclosed.

Our reviewers and editors also play a crucial role in identifying and addressing potential plagiarism. They are expected to report any concerns regarding the originality of a manuscript to the editorial office for thorough investigation.

While we take a strict stance on plagiarism, we also believe in education and guidance. Authors found to have inadvertently engaged in plagiarism may be given an opportunity to revise and resubmit their work with proper attribution.

Maintaining a plagiarism-free environment is paramount for upholding the credibility and reputation of the Involvement International Journal of Business. We appreciate the collaboration of authors, reviewers, and editors in upholding these ethical standards and fostering a culture of academic honesty.
