Plagiarsm Policy

All work submitted to JEBMES must be free from plagiarism, falsification, fabrication, and the omission of significant information. Every submitted article is screened using Grammarly and Turnitin. Manuscripts with a similarity score exceeding 20% will be rejected. Authors may revise and resubmit their manuscripts, but the editors will process only manuscripts with a similarity score below 20%.

Authors must cite the work and ideas of others, whether or not they quote or paraphrase them directly. This requirement applies to published, unpublished, and electronically available sources. Failure to provide appropriate citations may constitute plagiarism. Plagiarism in any form is unethical and unacceptable.

Redundant publication, including self-plagiarism, is also unacceptable. It may occur when authors reuse identical or substantially similar text from their previous work without quotation or acknowledgment, or submit multiple papers that differ only slightly without disclosing the related work.

Authors may develop different aspects of an argument across multiple manuscripts. However, presenting substantially similar work as separate and distinct research without acknowledging related publications may mislead reviewers and readers about the originality and contribution of each manuscript. Such practice is inappropriate and unethical.

Any exact sentences or paragraphs taken from another work, including the author’s own previously published work, must be placed in quotation marks and properly cited.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that:

  1. The article is original and does not involve fraud, fabrication, or plagiarism.
  2. The article has not been published previously and is not under consideration by another journal. If accepted by JEBMES, it will not be submitted for publication elsewhere.
  3. The article contains no defamatory or unlawful statements and does not infringe individual privacy, proprietary rights, or copyright.
  4. Written permission has been obtained from the rights holders for any copyrighted material reproduced in the article, and the original sources are properly credited.
  5. All authors are aware of and agree to the terms of the journal’s publication agreement.
  6. The authors have checked the manuscript for potential copyright violations and obtained any permissions required before submission, including permissions for quotations, images, tables, or other material from previously published works.
