Plagiarism is a critical concern in academic publishing, as it undermines the originality and credibility of research. To maintain high ethical standards, the International Journal of Science & Advanced Technology (IJSAT) enforces a strict plagiarism policy, allowing a maximum similarity index of 20%. This threshold is aligned with international guidelines to ensure that submitted manuscripts demonstrate originality and proper attribution of sources.

Authors are strongly encouraged to check their work thoroughly before submission. Proper citation of references and paraphrasing techniques should be used to avoid unintentional plagiarism. Additionally, plagiarism detection software can help identify any overlapping content and ensure compliance with the journal’s standards. Failure to meet the plagiarism threshold may result in manuscript rejection or requests for extensive revisions.

By adhering to this policy, IJSAT aims to foster a culture of academic integrity and ensure the quality of published research. Authors, reviewers, and editors are responsible for upholding these principles, which contribute to advancing knowledge and trust within the academic community.
