Plagiarism Policy

Checking for Plagiarism Journal of Global-Local Interactions (GLI)

The editorial board acknowledges that plagiarism is unacceptable and hence implements the following policy, which outlines the precise actions (penalties) to be taken when plagiarism is detected in an article submitted for publication in the Journal of Global-Local Interactions (GLI).

Definitions: Plagiarism is the act of using or closely imitating the language and ideas of another author and presenting them as one's own original work.

Policy: Papers must be authentic, not previously published, and not awaiting publication elsewhere. Any content directly copied from another source must be clearly distinguished from the current original text through: (1) indentation, (2) the use of quotation marks, and (3) providing the source's identification.
Permission from the copyright holder is required for any text or graphic material that exceeds fair use standards, which are defined as more than two or three sentences or their equivalent. Additionally, it is necessary to identify the source, including previous publication, and obtain permission from the original author(s) if possible.
Upon identification of plagiarism, the Editor in Chief, who is responsible for reviewing this manuscript, shall choose appropriate measures based on the severity of the plagiarism found, in accordance with the following guidelines:

Level of Plagiarism:
1. Minor: A little portion of another article is copied without including any substantial information or ideas from the original paper. Action: The writers are issued a warning and are requested to revise the content and appropriately acknowledge the source article.

2. Intermediate: A substantial percentage of a document is copied without giving appropriate credit to the original source.
Action: The submitted article has been rejected and the authors have been prohibited from submitting any other publications for a period of one year.

3. Severe: A substantial amount of a study is plagiarized, which entails copying original findings or concepts offered in another journal.
Action: The work has been rejected and the authors have been prohibited from submitting any other articles for a period of five years.

If a second instance of plagiarism by the same author(s) is detected, the Editorial board (consisting of the Editor-in-Chief and Editorial members) will determine the appropriate actions to be taken, in consultation with the Chair of the Editor-in-Chief. The author(s) could potentially be permanently prohibited from submitting any future articles.

This policy also extends to material that is reproduced from another publication by the same author(s). When an author incorporates previously published text or figures, they must clearly indicate the related paragraphs or figures and include a reference to the preceding publication. It is commonly acknowledged that in the case of a review article or a tutorial paper, a significant portion of the content has been previously published.

The author must ascertain the origin of the previously published content and secure consent from both the original author and the publisher. If an author submits a manuscript to the Journal of Global-Local Interactions (GLI) that has substantial similarities with a manuscript submitted to another journal at the same time, and if this overlap is identified either during the review process or after the publication of both papers, the editor of the other journal is informed and the situation is regarded as a serious case of plagiarism. Significant overlap refers to the utilization of figures that are either identical or nearly similar, as well as text that is either identical or significantly modified, for at least half of the document. If the amount of self-plagiarism in a document is less than one-half but greater than one-tenth, it will be considered as intermediate plagiarism. If self-plagiarism is limited to the techniques section, it will be seen as an instance of minor plagiarism.

When an author incorporates previously published material to enhance the explanation of new findings, they must acknowledge the previously published material and highlight the distinctions between it and the current publication. Obtaining permission from the copyright holder is necessary in order to reprint. When a manuscript that was initially published in conference proceedings is later submitted for publication in the Journal of Global-Local Interactions (GLI), whether in its original form or with additional content, the authors are required to provide the name and publication date of the conference proceedings. Furthermore, they must seek permission from the copyright holder to republish the manuscript. The editor has the option to reject this manuscript for publication.

Nevertheless, an author is allowed to use content from an unpublished presentation, including visual aids, into a subsequent journal publication. When submitting a publication that was previously published in a different language, the authors must provide the title, date, and journal of the original publication, and secure the necessary copyright permission. The editor may approve the inclusion of a translated publication in order to expose it to a larger audience. The editor has the option to choose a particular article that has already been published, such as a "historic" item, to be republished. This is done in order to offer a more comprehensive view of a collection of papers published in a single issue of the Journal of Global-Local Interactions (GLI). The act of republishing must be explicitly acknowledged, including the original publication's date and journal. Additionally, consent from both the author(s) and the publisher is required.

The layout editor of the Global-Local Interactions (GLI) is responsible for managing the roster of authors who have been penalized. Their role includes verifying that none of the authors of a submitted paper are included in this list. Once an author who has been banned is recognized, the layout editor will promptly notify the Editor-in-Chief, who will then proceed to implement the necessary actions. The policy will be published on the website together with the guidelines for article submission. Additionally, authors will receive a copy of the policy along with a confirmation email when their original manuscript is first received.
