Anti-plagiarism policy

Articles are evaluated through a double-blind peer review system (experts in the field who are external to the journal). All papers undergo analysis using anti-plagiarism software, with a maximum limit set at 10% for similarity and the undeclared use of artificial intelligence (AI) (See Artificial Intelligence use policy). These measures aim to ensure the originality and intellectual authorship of the papers, allowing authors to paraphrase cited sources.

As a policy to prevent plagiarism, Economicus Journal of Business and Economics Insights (JBEI) reserves the right to review manuscripts submitted for consideration using anti-plagiarism software. Moreover, manuscripts will be evaluated considering the 12 most common types of "non-original" material by © Turnitin, LLC.

1. Collusion: Working as a group on an individual-submitted work.
2. Unintentional Plagiarism: Omission of citations or quotes due to carelessness or unintentional paraphrasing.
3. Copying and Pasting: Copying and pasting content from the internet or other sources without using citations.
4. Paraphrasing without Attribution: Paraphrasing ideas from a source without proper attribution.
5. Self-Plagiarism: Reusing one's own previous work without attribution, whether using the entire work or excessively citing it.
6. Programming Code Plagiarism: Copying or adapting programming code without permission or proper credit to the original author.
7. Patchwork Plagiarism: Mixing phrases and text from different sources, editing and combining statements without quotes or attributions.
8. Source Alteration: Including incomplete or inaccurate information about sources to prevent verification.
9. Text Modification with Software: Taking content from a source and running it through an application (such as spinners and online translators) with the intention of evading similarity checks.
10. Manual Text Modification: Text manipulation (e.g., replacing characters or spaces with blank text) with the intention to deceive anti-plagiarism software.
11. Contract Cheating: Requesting a third party to create a work and then submitting it as one's own.
12. Data Fabrication: Altering or fabricating data, or appropriating someone else's work, endangering the reputation of a researcher, institution, or publication.

If any of the practices mentioned above are detected or if the document has a similarity percentage greater than 10%, the manuscript will be rejected for publication. Additionally, the Editorial Committee will review the case and based on its severity, determine appropriate sanctions.
