Screening for Plagiarism

Screening for Plagiarism

Manuscripts submitted to [IJSTS] Globsports will be screened using the Turnitin similarity detection tool. [IJSTS] Globsports  will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

[IJSTS] Globsports  aims to ensure that all authors are careful and comply with international standards for academic integrity, particularly with regard to plagiarism.

Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without proper credit to the source. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation and is unacceptable in international academic publications.

When an author learns specific information (such as a name, date, place, statistical number, or other detailed information) from a specific source, a citation is required.

When an author takes an idea from another author, a citation is required even if the author further develops the idea. This includes ideas related to data interpretation, methodological approaches, conclusions, broad developments in a field, or general information. Regardless of the nature of the idea, authors must cite their sources. If the author develops the idea further, the original source must still be cited, followed by an explanation of the author’s own contribution in a subsequent sentence.

When an author takes words from another author, both a citation and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source the author has read, quotation marks must be used to indicate the original wording; a citation alone is not sufficient.

[IJSTS] Globsports  takes academic integrity very seriously, and the editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance of any paper found to violate the standards outlined above. For further information, prospective authors may contact the editorial office at editor@globsportsjournal.com
