Screening Plagiarism

All submitted manuscripts must be free of plagiarism. Authors should check their work using plagiarism detection software before submission. The editorial team will use Turnitin to verify originality.
A similarity score up to 25% is allowed. Manuscripts with 15%-25% similarity will receive a warning and require revision to properly cite sources. Manuscripts exceeding 25% similarity will be rejected.
If plagiarism is found after publication, the Editor-in-Chief will review and take appropriate action, including possible retraction. This policy ensures the integrity and quality of publications in MANDEKA.
