Plagiarism Policy

Screening Manuscript for Plagiarism:

Papers submitted to AJASS will be screened for plagiarism using CrossCheck/ iThenticate plagiarism detection tools. It is important for all authors to recognize that plagiarism in any form, at any level, is unacceptable and is considered a serious breach of professional conduct, with potentially severe ethical and legal consequences. AJASS will immediately reject papers without reviewing the paper leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

AJASS defines plagiarism as the reuse of someone else's prior processes, results, or words without explicitly acknowledging the original author and source.

Multiple submissions:

Papers submitted to AJASS for review must not be submitted simultaneously (during review process) to another conference or journal, or for other forms of publication without formally withdrawing the submission. Once a case of such submission has been established, the paper(s) in question will be immediately declined for publication by AJASS followed by appropriate legal/disciplinary action.

Data fabrication and falsification:

The practice of data fabrication and falsification for preparing the manuscript are strictly prohibited. Data fabrication means the researcher did not actually do the study, but made-up data. Data falsification means the researcher did the experiment, but then changed some of the data. The sole responsibility and legal accusation must be met by the paper author(s) for any of these practices. Editor / reviewer / publisher none can be hold responsible to Data fabrication and falsification has been published.
