Plagiarism

The Journal of Innovation and Inclusive Economics (JIIE) is committed to upholding academic integrity and ethical scholarship. All submitted manuscripts are subject to originality screening using plagiarism detection software, including Turnitin or equivalent tools, as part of the editorial assessment process. Every submitted manuscript will undergo an originality check process using plagiarism detection tools such as Turnitin or similar, with a maximum tolerance limit of 20% for the similarity index.

Manuscripts are evaluated for textual similarity, improper citation, and inappropriate reuse of previously published material. Plagiarism in any form, including direct copying, unattributed paraphrasing, excessive similarity, and self plagiarism, is not acceptable. Submissions that exhibit substantial overlap with existing publications without proper attribution may be rejected at the editorial screening stage or withdrawn at any point in the publication process.

The journal also recognises emerging risks associated with the use of generative artificial intelligence. Authors remain fully responsible for the originality and accuracy of their manuscripts. Textual similarity arising from AI assisted writing does not exempt authors from plagiarism standards. In addition, manuscripts containing fabricated or unverifiable references, including references generated by AI systems, will be rejected immediately. The editorial team reserves the right to take appropriate action in cases of suspected academic misconduct, including rejection, retraction, or notification to the author’s institution, depending on the severity of the violation.
