Plagiarism Policy
Eureka: Journal of Educational Research Editorial Team acknowledges that plagiarism is unacceptable and has established the following policy detailing specific actions (penalties) to be taken when plagiarism is found in an article submitted for publication in the Eureka: Journal of Educational Research.
Definition: Plagiarism is the intentional or unintentional act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit or value for scientific work by citing any or all of another party's work and/or scientific work recognized as its scientific work, without appropriately and fully indicating the source.
For that, then: Articles must be original, have never been published and are not currently being evaluated for publication elsewhere. Material acquired verbally from other sources must be clearly noted to distinguish it from the original text.
Each manuscript published undergoes a plagiarism checking process at least twice with Turnitin. The first checking process occurs during the submission stage, after the Author(s) submit their article but before it is sent to reviewers. The second checking process takes place during the copyediting stage, after the article is declared accepted for publication.
The text will be processed to send to peer-reviewers after plagiarism scans show results at most 20%. If the results are between 20% and 23%, then the Author(s) will be asked to paraphrase the sentences in the article. However, if the results exceed 23%, then the article will be declined.
In cases where plagiarism is discovered after publication, an investigation will be conducted, and appropriate action will be taken in accordance with the journals' policies.
