Plagiarism Policy 

At IR Research Publication, we uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. Plagiarism and redundant/overlapping publication undermine the essence of scholarly work and compromise the integrity of the research process. To maintain the credibility and reputation of our publications, we have established a comprehensive plagiarism policy.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of presenting someone else's work, ideas, or intellectual property as one's own, without proper attribution. This includes, but is not limited to, copying text, data, figures, tables, or any other form of content without appropriate citation. Plagiarism can be of different types, such as Copy-Paste Plagiarism: directly copying and pasting text without proper citation; Paraphrasing Plagiarism: rewriting someone else's work without proper attribution; and Self-Plagiarism: Reproducing one's own previously published work without proper acknowledgment.

Redundant/Overlapping Publication

Authors are expected to submit original and previously unpublished work. Redundant or overlapping publication, also known as dual submission, is the submission of substantially similar work to more than one publication. Authors should disclose any related work that might overlap with the submission at the time of submission.

Detection of Plagiarism

IR Research Publication employs advanced plagiarism detection tools to ensure the originality of submitted manuscripts. Authors are encouraged to use proper citation and referencing methods to avoid plagiarism.

Consequences of Plagiarism

If plagiarism or redundant/overlapping publication is detected, the manuscript will be rejected or retracted, depending on the stage of the publication process. The authors may also face restrictions on future submissions to IR Research Publication.

Author Responsibility

Authors are solely responsible for ensuring the originality of their work. Proper citation and acknowledgment of sources are crucial in maintaining academic integrity.

Reporting Plagiarism

Readers, reviewers, and fellow researchers are encouraged to report any suspected cases of plagiarism to the editorial office. All reports will be thoroughly investigated, and appropriate actions will be taken.

By submitting a manuscript to IR Research Publication, authors agree to adhere to this plagiarism policy. We believe in fostering a scholarly environment where originality is celebrated, and ethical research practices are upheld.
