Screening for Plagiarism Policy

Manisha: Journal of Education and Social Sciences is strongly committed to maintaining academic integrity, originality, and ethical standards in all published works. Therefore, all submitted manuscripts undergo a plagiarism screening process before entering the peer review stage.

The journal uses reliable plagiarism detection software to evaluate similarity levels, identify potential duplication, and detect non-original content within submitted manuscripts.

Manuscripts that contain plagiarism, self-plagiarism, excessive similarity, data fabrication, data falsification, or other forms of academic misconduct will be rejected. If the detected similarity is considered minor and does not indicate serious ethical concerns, authors may be requested to revise and resubmit their manuscripts. However, substantial violations of publication ethics will result in immediate rejection.

The maximum acceptable similarity index is below 20%, excluding references, properly cited quotations, and commonly used academic expressions. Authors are fully responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts respect intellectual property rights and provide appropriate citations for all sources used.

Through this policy, Manisha: Journal of Education and Social Sciences aims to maintain high standards of ethical publishing and scholarly quality, ensuring that all published articles represent original, credible, and valuable contributions to the fields of education and social sciences.
