Plagiarism

Plagiarism is appropriating another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit.  Another category of plagiarism is self-plagiarism when the author publishes his ideas, data, and text in different journals when there is no need for such duplication. SCIENTIA uses all means to detect plagiarism. As a matter of quality assurance, a similarity of more than 20% in the text of a manuscript will be returned to the author to remove the similarities and reduce the chance of plagiarism.  SCIENTIA strictly follows the COPE follow chart in dealing with plagiarized articles.
