Plagiarism and Similarity Check

Journal of Maritime Business Management (JMBM) applies a comprehensive plagiarism screening process to every submitted manuscript to maintain originality and academic integrity. Each manuscript undergoes a similarity check before proceeding to further editorial and peer review processes.

Plagiarism and Similarity Check

The screening process is conducted through a double-check system, which may include manual examination of quotations, citations, and source usage, as well as plagiarism detection or similarity checking software used by the journal.

Manuscripts with a similarity level exceeding the threshold established by the journal may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected before entering the peer review stage. As a general guideline, manuscripts with a similarity level above 20% may be considered not to meet the journal's initial requirements.

Author's Responsibility

Authors are fully responsible for the originality of manuscripts submitted to Journal of Maritime Business Management. Authors must ensure that all ideas, data, statements, and materials derived from the work of others are properly acknowledged and appropriately cited.

Use of Sources and Quotations
Authors must not use language or statements from the work of others verbatim without using quotation marks and providing an appropriate citation.

Acknowledgment of Ideas
Ideas, findings, methods, or intellectual contributions originating from other authors must be properly acknowledged and appropriately cited.

Manuscript Originality
Submitted manuscripts must be original works and must not be under consideration for publication in another journal or other scholarly publication at the same time.

Duplicate Submission and Redundant Publication
Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously. Reuse of previously published work without substantial changes and significant scholarly contribution may be considered an unethical publication practice.

Reuse of Previous Work

If authors use any portion of material or findings from their previous work, such reuse must be transparently disclosed and appropriately cited. The new manuscript must demonstrate substantial differences, development, or scholarly contribution compared with the previous work.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that the submitted manuscript demonstrates clear novelty and scholarly contribution and does not constitute a repetition or republication of previously published work.
