If it is discovered that the same article or substantially similar articles have been published in more than one journal, the scientific work will be returned by the editor without review.
Simultaneous Submission of the Same Work to More than One Journal
Authors may not submit the same article to more than one journal at the same time. If the editor becomes aware of a possible simultaneous submission, he or she reserves the right to consult with the other editor(s) who received the article. The editor may also return the article without review, reject it without considering the reviews, or make this decision after discussing it with the other editor(s) and decide to suspend the acceptance of article submissions from authors for a certain period of time.
Plagiarism Prevention Control
Plagiarism is the act of presenting the ideas, methods, data, experiments, writings, figures, or works of others as one’s own without properly citing the original authors in accordance with scientific principles.
The Journal of Oriental Studies checks all submitted articles using the StrikePlagiarism software to prevent plagiarism. The similarity rate is expected to be less than 10%. The main measure of similarity is the author’s adherence to the referencing guidelines.
Plagiarism is considered to be unethical behavior such as duplication, false authorship/disclaimer of authorship, fabrication of research/data, copyright infringement, and concealment of conflicts of interest. All articles that do not comply with accepted ethical standards will be removed from publication. This also includes articles with possible violations or inconsistencies discovered after publication.
Fraud
This includes the preparation of information that is not based on research, editing or changing a submitted or published work based on false information.
