Plagiarism Policy

The Journal of International Network Center for Fundamental and Applied Research is committed to maintaining high standards of academic integrity and does not accept plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabrication, falsification, or any other form of academic misconduct. All manuscripts submitted to the journal must be original and must appropriately acknowledge the ideas, words, data, and findings of other authors.

Submitted manuscripts may be screened for plagiarism or significant textual similarity during the editorial and peer-review process. Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts contain proper citations and references and that any material reproduced from other sources is appropriately acknowledged and, where necessary, used with the required permission.

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, copying text, ideas, data, images, or other intellectual content from another source without appropriate attribution, presenting another person's work as one's own, substantial unattributed paraphrasing, and submitting substantially similar work that has already been published elsewhere. Self-plagiarism or redundant publication may also be considered a form of publication misconduct where previously published material is reused without appropriate disclosure.

If plagiarism or another form of academic misconduct is identified before publication, the manuscript may be rejected and the authors may be asked to provide an explanation. Where serious or intentional misconduct is established, the journal may take further appropriate action, including notifying relevant institutions or organizations where necessary.

If plagiarism or significant misconduct is discovered after publication, the journal may investigate the matter and, where appropriate, publish a correction, expression of concern, or retraction of the affected article. The action taken will depend on the nature and seriousness of the violation.

The journal expects all authors, editors, and reviewers to uphold principles of honesty, transparency, originality, and responsible scholarly communication. Authors remain fully responsible for the originality and integrity of their submitted work.
