Upholding Academic Integrity at ARJST
The Academic Research Journal of Science and Technology (ARJST) is steadfast in its commitment to the highest ethical standards in scholarly publishing. To safeguard the originality and integrity of every submitted manuscript, we employ rigorous plagiarism detection using PlagiarismCheckerX.
Our Similarity Threshold:
We accept manuscripts with a similarity index of 15% or lower. This threshold excludes properly cited references, direct quotations, and universally recognized phrases. Submissions exceeding this limit will undergo a detailed review to ascertain whether the overlaps represent plagiarism or are the result of appropriate attribution.
Zero Tolerance for Plagiarism:
ARJST unequivocally prohibits the following academic transgressions:
- Verbatim Copying: Direct reproduction of text from external sources without explicit and correct citation.
- Self-Plagiarism: Reusing one’s own published material without substantial original contribution or acknowledgment.
- Inadequate Paraphrasing: Presenting another’s ideas or words in a rephrased manner without giving due credit.
- Data Fabrication/Falsification: The intentional creation or manipulation of research data.
Authorial Accountability:
Authors bear the ultimate responsibility for ensuring their submissions are original, thoroughly cited, and adhere to all ethical guidelines. By submitting to ARJST, you acknowledge and agree to abide by this plagiarism policy.
