Plagiarism Policy

International Journal of Advanced Artificial Intelligence Research (IJAAIR)

The International Journal of Advanced Artificial Intelligence Research (IJAAIR) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. Plagiarism in any form is considered unethical and unacceptable. This policy outlines the journal’s approach to preventing, detecting, and addressing plagiarism.

1. Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

  • Copying text, ideas, data, images, tables, or code from other sources without proper citation

  • Paraphrasing substantial portions of another work without appropriate acknowledgment

  • Self-plagiarism, including reuse of an author’s previously published work without disclosure

  • Duplicate or redundant publication

  • Use of unpublished or confidential material without permission

2. Use of Plagiarism Detection Tools

  • All submitted manuscripts are screened using reliable plagiarism detection software.

  • Similarity reports are reviewed carefully by editors to distinguish legitimate overlap from unethical copying.

  • Commonly used terms, references, and standard methodologies may result in acceptable similarity.

3. Acceptable Similarity Threshold

  • Minor similarity due to references, technical terminology, or methodology descriptions is acceptable.

  • Significant unattributed overlap or high similarity percentages may result in rejection or revision requests.

4. Plagiarism Identified Before Publication

  • Manuscripts containing substantial plagiarism will be rejected immediately.

  • Minor or unintentional overlap may require revision and re submission.

  • Severe cases may be reported to the authors’ institutions or funding bodies.

5. Plagiarism Identified After Publication

  • Allegations of plagiarism after publication are investigated thoroughly.

  • Confirmed cases may result in:

    • Publication of a correction

    • Expression of concern

    • Retraction of the article

  • Retractions and corrections are clearly labeled and linked to the original publication.

6. Responsibilities of Authors

Authors must:

  • Ensure originality of submitted work

  • Properly cite all sources and reused materials

  • Disclose prior publications or overlapping content

  • Obtain permission for copyrighted materials

7. Responsibilities of Editors and Reviewers

  • Editors and reviewers must report suspected plagiarism promptly.

  • All cases are handled confidentially, fairly, and in accordance with COPE guidelines.

8. Ethical Commitment
