Plagiarism Policy
The Journal of Advanced Neurology and Neuroscience maintains a strict anti-plagiarism policy to ensure the originality, integrity, and academic quality of all published content in the fields of neurology and neuroscience.
All submitted manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using reliable plagiarism detection tools before entering the peer-review process. This initial screening helps ensure that the submitted work is original and does not contain improperly copied or uncredited material.
Plagiarism in any form is considered unethical publishing behavior and is not acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Direct copying of text, figures, or tables without proper citation
- Paraphrasing substantial portions of another work without acknowledgment
- Self-plagiarism or duplicate publication of the author’s own previously published work without proper disclosure
- Submission of work that is substantially similar to previously published studies
If plagiarism is detected at any stage of the review or publication process, the manuscript may be:
- Rejected outright before review
- Returned to authors for correction and resubmission (if minor issues are found)
- Retracted or removed if identified after publication
Authors are fully responsible for ensuring the originality of their submissions and for properly citing all sources, data, and references used in their work. Proper acknowledgment of prior research is mandatory to maintain academic transparency and credibility.
The journal follows international publishing ethics guidelines, including COPE standards, to handle all cases of suspected plagiarism fairly and consistently.
By enforcing this policy, the Journal of Advanced Neurology and Neuroscience aims to uphold the highest standards of scholarly integrity and contribute to the advancement of trustworthy scientific research worldwide.
