Supporting Research Integrity and Ethical Academic Publication

Publication ethics covers much more than plagiarism. Researchers should present original work, cite sources accurately, report methods and findings honestly, identify appropriate authors and contributors, disclose relevant conflicts of interest, and follow the ethical and submission requirements of their target journal. Our publication support helps authors review manuscripts for potential originality, citation, attribution, formatting, and submission-readiness concerns before journal submission.

  • Review potential text-similarity and attribution concerns before submission.
  • Check citations, references, quotations, and source attribution for consistency.
  • Support authors in understanding common journal publication-ethics requirements.
  • Help prepare manuscripts for responsible and transparent academic submission.

Responsible Research Builds Trust in Academic Publishing

Ethical publication practices help protect authors, readers, journals, and the scholarly record. Before submission, researchers should review originality, authorship, citations, disclosures, research approvals where applicable, data reporting, and the specific ethical policies of the target journal.

Research Integrity

should guide every stage of scholarly publication

Publication ethics is an ongoing responsibility, not simply a pre-submission plagiarism check. Authors should follow their institution's requirements and the current policies of the journal and publisher. Where human participants, animals, sensitive data, or other regulated research are involved, appropriate approvals and documentation may also be required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Publication Ethics

Publication ethics refers to principles and practices that support integrity, transparency, accountability, and fairness in scholarly publishing. Important areas include originality, accurate citation, responsible authorship, honest reporting, conflicts of interest, research approvals where applicable, data integrity, peer-review conduct, and avoiding duplicate or misleading publication.

Plagiarism generally involves presenting another person's words, ideas, data, images, or other work without appropriate acknowledgement. Authors should quote, paraphrase, cite, and attribute sources according to applicable academic and journal requirements.

Self-plagiarism or text recycling can refer to reusing previously published material without appropriate disclosure or citation. Acceptability can depend on the type and extent of reuse and the policies of the journal or publisher, so authors should check the relevant publication guidelines.

Many scholarly journals prohibit simultaneous submission of the same manuscript to multiple journals. Authors should read and follow the target journal's current submission and publication-ethics policies before submitting their work.

Authorship should reflect meaningful scholarly contribution and responsibility for the work. Exact authorship criteria can vary by discipline and journal, so researchers should follow relevant institutional, disciplinary, journal, and publisher policies and clearly identify contributions where required.

No. A similarity report can help identify matching text, but publication ethics also includes authorship, citations, disclosures, research approvals, data integrity, reporting practices, duplicate publication, and compliance with journal policies. Similarity results also require appropriate interpretation.

Yes. We support researchers, PhD scholars, and faculty members in Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and other GCC countries with reviewing originality, citation, and attribution concerns before journal submission.

Türkiye's Council of Higher Education (YÖK) adopted Scopus as its official database for national research evaluation starting in 2026. As more submissions are assessed against Scopus-indexed journal standards, addressing originality, citation, and publication-ethics concerns before submission can matter more for researchers preparing manuscripts.
