Scitech Journals maintains a rigorous plagiarism policy to ensure the originality and integrity of all submitted manuscripts. BPJ strictly ensures that no part of a manuscript is copied from other sources and that appropriate references are provided for all material derived from previously published work.
All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial screening process and are evaluated using advanced plagiarism detection software, specifically CrossCheck powered by iThenticate.
Plagiarism is defined as the use or reproduction of ideas, text, data, or other creative material-such as tables, figures, and graphs-without proper acknowledgment and presenting them as original work. In addition to plagiarism, authors must obtain formal permission to reuse previously published material, even when such material is correctly cited, from the copyright holder, who is usually not the author.
Authors are required to inform editors and reviewers if any portion of the manuscript is substantially based on earlier work, including their own previously published studies. It is the author’s responsibility not only to cite all relevant prior work but also to clearly indicate the extent to which the current manuscript relies on that work.
