Plagiarism Policy

Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works. If authors have used the work and/or words of others, these must be appropriately cited or quoted.

An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have significantly influenced the nature of the reported work.

All submitted manuscripts will undergo a plagiarism screening process by the editorial board. The editors of J-IbM use Turnitin for manuscript screening.
