Plagiarism Detection
Iraqi JMS now screens all submitted manuscripts with the antiplagiarism software program Turnit In. If a significant commonality between a submitted manuscript and prior publications is identified on this initial software screening, the submission will be subject to a manual review for copyright breach. Whilst it is recognized that most submitted manuscripts will have similar phrases and wording in various sections, the extensive reproduction of previously published works (excluding quotations) will result in immediate rejection. Such unauthorized duplication of prior published work is regarded as a serious breach of copyright.
