Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism is an unethical act of copying ideas, processes, results, or words of others without explicit acknowledgment of the author and the original source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author uses a significant portion of their previously published work without proper referencing. This can range from submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with some new data. Types of plagiarism include:

  1. Full Plagiarism: Previously published content without any changes to the text, ideas, or grammar is considered full plagiarism. This involves presenting text exactly from a source as one's own.
  2. Partial Plagiarism: If the content is a mixture of various different sources where the author has extensively rearranged the text, it is known as partial plagiarism.
  3. Self-Plagiarism: When an author reuses all or part of their previously published research, it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism occurs when an author republishes their previously published work in a new journal.

The Enlightenment Law Review Journal strongly recommends the use of Mendeley, Zotero, and Endnote applications when writing articles submitted to this journal, as the editorial board uses the Turnitin service to detect plagiarism with a similarity limit of no more than 30%.

If indications of plagiarism are found (above 30%), the editorial board will immediately reject the manuscript. Before publication, written confirmation from the author regarding the Author’s Originality Statement is required. This statement must be signed by at least one author who has obtained approval from co-authors if applicable.
