Plagiarisme Policy

Manuscripts submitted to the Advanced Private Legal Insights Journal of Law will be screened for plagiarism using Turnitin plagiarism detection tools. The Advanced Private Legal Insights Journal of Law will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

A member of the editorial team checks articles for similarity/plagiarism before they are submitted to reviewers. The manuscript submitted to the Advanced Private Legal Insights Journal of Law must have a similar level of less than 25% for normative legal research, qualitative legal research, mixed legal research, comparative legal research, or conceptual research.

Plagiarism is exposing another person's thoughts or words as though they were your own, without permission, credit, or acknowledgement, or because of failing to cite the sources properly. Plagiarism can take diverse forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing the work of another. To properly judge whether an author has plagiarized, we emphasize the following possible situations:

An author can literally copy another author's work—word by word, in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledgement, or citation of the original source. This practice can be identified by comparing the original source and the manuscript/work of the author suspected of plagiarism.
Substantial copying implies that an author reproduces a substantial part of another author without permission, acknowledgement, or citation. The term can be understood in terms of quality and quantity, and it is often used in the context of Intellectual property. Quality refers to the relative value of the copied text in proportion to the work as a whole.Paraphrasing involves taking ideas, words, or phrases from a source and crafting them into new sentences within the writing. This practice becomes unethical when the author does not properly cite or acknowledge the original work/author. This form of plagiarism is the most difficult to identify.
