Plagiarism Policy

The International Journal of Research in Communication and Embedded Electronics is committed to maintaining academic integrity and ensuring that all published research is original, properly attributed, and ethically prepared. The journal does not accept plagiarism, duplicate publication, or other forms of academic misconduct.

1. Originality of Manuscripts

All manuscripts submitted to the International Journal of Research in Communication and Embedded Electronics must be original works of the authors.

Authors must ensure that the submitted manuscript:

  • Has not been published previously in substantially the same form.
  • Is not under consideration by another journal.
  • Properly acknowledges all sources used.
  • Does not reproduce another author's work without appropriate citation.

2. Plagiarism Detection

Submitted manuscripts may be screened using plagiarism-detection software, including tools such as Turnitin or iThenticate, as part of the editorial screening process.

The journal's author guidelines state that manuscripts with more than 10% plagiarism may be automatically rejected.

3. Types of Plagiarism

Plagiarism may include, but is not limited to:

  • Direct copying of text without quotation or citation.
  • Copying ideas, methods, or findings without proper acknowledgment.
  • Reusing substantial portions of previously published work without appropriate disclosure.
  • Improper paraphrasing that closely follows another source.
  • Using figures, tables, images, or other materials without proper attribution.
  • Self-plagiarism or substantial duplication of the author's own previously published work.

4. Proper Citation and Referencing

Authors must provide appropriate citations whenever they use information, ideas, methods, data, figures, or other materials originating from another source.

All references should be presented accurately and consistently according to the journal's recommended referencing requirements.

5. Self-Plagiarism

Authors should avoid excessive reuse of material from their own previously published or submitted manuscripts.

Where previously published material is legitimately reused, authors must provide appropriate citation and clearly identify the source.

6. Duplicate and Simultaneous Submission

Submitting substantially the same manuscript to multiple journals at the same time is not permitted.

Authors must confirm that their manuscript is not currently under consideration elsewhere when submitting it to the International Journal of Research in Communication and Embedded Electronics.

7. Consequences of Plagiarism

If plagiarism or substantial unattributed duplication is identified during editorial screening or peer review, the journal may:

  • Reject the manuscript.
  • Request an explanation from the authors.
  • Require appropriate corrections where applicable.
  • Investigate suspected academic misconduct.
  • Take further action where serious misconduct is established.

For manuscripts already published, serious cases may require a correction or retraction in accordance with applicable publication-ethics procedures.

8. Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality and integrity of their manuscripts before submission. Authors should carefully review their manuscripts for accidental plagiarism, inadequate citation, duplicate content, and inappropriate reuse of previously published material.

9. Ethical Standards

The International Journal of Research in Communication and Embedded Electronics expects authors, reviewers, and editors to maintain high standards of academic integrity. The journal's author guidelines also refer to Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) principles in relation to publication ethics.

10. Commitment to Academic Integrity

The International Journal of Research in Communication and Embedded Electronics is committed to preventing plagiarism and protecting the integrity of scholarly publishing.
