Plagiarism

The Journal of Integrative Bioscience Research (JIBR) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and originality.

All submitted manuscripts undergo a two-stage plagiarism assessment before entering the peer-review process:

1. Similarity Screening: Every manuscript is screened using Turnitin to identify text similarity, duplicate publication, and potential plagiarism.
2. Editorial Evaluation: Similarity reports are carefully reviewed by the Editorial Office to distinguish acceptable similarity from unethical plagiarism. Editorial judgment is applied to assess the context, originality, and proper citation of the identified text.

JIBR Policy

• All manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere.
• Proper citation and acknowledgment of all sources are mandatory.
• Manuscripts containing plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, or other forms of research misconduct may be rejected without peer review.
• If plagiarism is identified after publication, the journal may issue a correction, retract the article, and take appropriate editorial action in accordance with COPE guidelines.

Authors are solely responsible for ensuring the originality and integrity of their work before submission.
