Plagiarism Prevention

Plagiarism means copying or paraphrasing another writer’s content, be it a text, a result, or an observation, and stating it as one’s own, without citing a reference to the original source.

Therefore, the authors should acknowledge and cite references to the work of other scientists in their manuscripts. The author should ensure that all the sources are authentic and that there is no discrepancy in the content of the manuscript.

Detection and Screening

Aethra Science is vigilant in checking and identifying the primary sources of the data within the content by using the iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similarity of text in the submitted manuscripts.

This similarity is further scrutinized for suspected plagiarism according to the publisher’s Editorial Policies. The generated report comprises the overall percentage of the content reused.

The Credibility of Sources - Acknowledgments

The study of an author has to be original. If there are credible sources of the content referred to in the manuscript, the author needs to cite all of them.

Multiple Publications

Aethra Science has different editorial policies for authors with more than one publication. Following those policies, the authors need to specify the sources of the submission in their recent work.

COPE Compliance

Aethra Science strictly follows COPE guidelines to detect plagiarism. For a clearer insight, authors may refer to the flowcharts provided by COPE.
