Plagiarism Policy

Journal of Managerial and Social Science Innovations (JOMSSI) strictly adheres to its anti-plagiarism policy, which all authors must properly understand and follow.

• Plagiarism is absolutely forbidden in JOMSSI contributions. Our policy is that the Similarity Index not exceed 19%, and for information originating from a single origin, it remain below 5%.
• Authors who extract content from their M.Phil. M.S., or Ph.D. theses for submission must disclose the following information on the original letterhead during the submission process: thesis title, supervisor's name, department and university name, and year of submission.
• Plagiarism, data falsification, and picture alteration are strictly prohibited. Plagiarism is defined as the reproduction of language, concepts, pictures, or data from any source, including the author's own writings, without proper acknowledgment to the original source. Direct quotations from another source must be properly referenced. If past studies have affected the framework or text format of a research, they must be explicitly cited.
• If plagiarism is identified during the peer review process, the work may be rejected. If plagiarism is detected after publication, we reserve the right to publish a correction or withdraw the article, and the author(s) may be barred from future publication.
• Any change or adjustment to picture files that may distort the information communicated by the original image is prohibited. Irregular alteration can involve changing, boosting, moving, or eliminating aspects from the original picture; mixing photos that should be exhibited separately; or modifying contrast, brightness, or color balance to disguise, erase, or emphasize information. If abnormal picture alteration is detected and verified during peer review, we may reject the submission. If such manipulation is uncovered after publication, we may publish a correction or withdraw the manuscript, and the author(s) may be barred from future publication.
• Our in-house editors will thoroughly evaluate any allegations of publishing misconduct and, if required, contact the authors' institutions or funders. If wrongdoing is proven, appropriate action will be taken, such as amending or withdrawing the publication, and the author(s) may be barred from future publishing in any journals connected with the Stream line Publishers.
