Plagiarism Policy
The plagiarism policy ensures that authors give due credit to other authors when they use their work, and it protects the academic integrity of the research community.
D1. All research papers submitted for publication are checked with plagiarism detection software to verify their originality and find their similarity percentage. Papers that fail to meet the criteria are sent back to the author for modification.
D2. If plagiarism is detected in a research paper just before publication, the author is given a chance to resubmit the paper after the modifications suggested by the editor. However, if the editor decides that plagiarism is a major issue in the paper, it is not considered further for publication.
D3. If plagiarism or a fake identity is suspected or detected in a research paper after its publication, the paper is removed from the website until the verification is complete. If only a few paragraphs are plagiarized, the author is given a chance to modify the published paper, and the paper is restored on the website after the editor’s approval.
D4. However, if ISSRD decides that plagiarism or a fake identity is a major issue in the published paper and it seriously violates the copyright of others, the paper remains removed from publication, and the author is penalized and blacklisted for life from ISSRD and other conference organizers. The removal is also mentioned on the journal website, and the indexing services are notified.
D5. Authors republishing their earlier published work (self-plagiarism) are dealt with by the same procedure.
