Plagiarism and Similarity Policy

The Journal of Global Social and Human Research (JGSHR) is committed to maintaining the originality and integrity of published scholarly work.

Originality Requirement

Manuscripts submitted to JGSHR must represent original scholarly work and must appropriately acknowledge previously published ideas, text, data, methods, figures, tables, and other materials.

Forms of Unacceptable Practice

Unacceptable practices may include:

• Copying text or ideas without appropriate attribution;
• Presenting another person's work as one's own;
• Improper paraphrasing;
• Unacknowledged reuse of previously published material;
• Redundant or duplicate publication;
• Inappropriate reuse of an author's own previously published text;
• Manipulation or fabrication of citations or source material.

Similarity Screening

Submitted manuscripts may be evaluated using similarity-detection tools or other editorial methods when appropriate.

Similarity percentages are not interpreted mechanically. Editorial assessment considers the nature, location, source, extent, and scholarly context of any textual overlap.

Editorial Action

When substantial plagiarism, inappropriate duplication, or other serious originality concerns are identified before publication, the manuscript may be returned to the authors, rejected, or subjected to further investigation.

When concerns are discovered after publication, JGSHR may issue a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other appropriate editorial notice.

Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources are appropriately cited and that submitted work complies with the journal's standards of originality and publication ethics.
