Plagiarism Policy

Manuscripts that have passed desk evaluation or before publishing, will be checked for plagiarism using the TurnItIn software. The paper must meet the maximum plagiarism limit of 20% to proceed to the review/production process.

Note for Authors

Journal of Economic Community Service will assess each case of plagiarism based on its own abilities. If only plagiarism is detected, either by editors, peer-reviews, or editorial staff at any stages prior to the manuscript publication – before or after acceptance, during editing or at the proofing stage of the page, we will notify the author, then ask him/her to rewrite the text or quote text appropriately and cite the original source. If the plagiarism is extensive – that is, if at least 20% of the original submissions are plagiarized – the article may be rejected and the author’s the institution/company notified. Therefore we highly recommend the author(s) to thoroughly check the content of the articles before submitting them to our journal for publication. We ask the author(s) to use a “Plagiarism Checker Software” to check for plagiarism before submitting it as the first step, although it is not completely reliable.
