Plagiarism Policy

The Journal of Nanoscience and Advanced Nanotechnology  maintains a strict plagiarism policy to uphold academic integrity, originality, and scientific excellence in all published research.

All submitted manuscripts are screened using reliable plagiarism detection tools before entering the peer-review process. The journal expects authors to submit only original work and to properly acknowledge all sources, data, figures, and previously published materials.

Plagiarism in any form is considered a serious violation of publication ethics and includes:

  • Self-plagiarism or duplicate publication of previously published work

  • Unauthorized use of figures, tables, images, or data

  • Simultaneous submission of the same manuscript to multiple journals

If plagiarism is identified during review or after publication, the journal may take appropriate actions, including:

  • Rejection of the manuscript

  • Request for correction or revision

  • Retraction of published articles

  • Notification to authors’ institutions or funding organizations in cases of serious misconduct

Authors are solely responsible for ensuring the originality of their work and the accuracy of all citations and references.

The journal follows internationally recognized publication ethics guidelines, including COPE principles, in handling suspected cases of plagiarism and research misconduct.

Through this policy, the Journal of Nanoscience and Advanced Nanotechnology is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical publishing and preserving the integrity of the scientific record.
