ANTI-PLAGIARISM POLICY

Star of Sciences Multidisciplinary Journal enforces a strict policy against plagiarism and any form of unethical behavior throughout the editorial process. In line with its commitment to scientific integrity, all submitted manuscripts are subject to a mandatory originality check using iThenticate, a globally recognized tool for detecting textual similarities.

During the initial evaluation phase, the editorial team examines the similarity index and proper source attribution. If the iThenticate report reveals a high percentage of unjustified matches or previously published content without appropriate citation, the manuscript will either be rejected or returned to the authors for revision, depending on the severity of the case.

The journal adheres to the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) when addressing issues related to plagiarism, duplicate publication, data manipulation, or other forms of scientific misconduct. In serious cases, Star of Sciences Multidisciplinary Journal reserves the right to inform the authors’ affiliated institutions and apply editorial sanctions in accordance with international ethical standards in academic publishing.
