Plagiarism
The VJFS uses Turnitin software to detect duplication or plagiarism in all manuscripts before they are reviewed. The following issues are defined as plagiarism:
- Using another's academic results while claiming them as your own (with the author's name changed)
- Copying from other academic publications (despite indicating the source citation) to form a majority of your own publication.
- Not citing the source when using alternative words or phrases, using ideas from other authors or using phrases from different sources and editing them into the manuscripts; Using the alternative words and phrases but keeping the structure of the paragraphs or manuscripts.
- Using any academic publications or available data of other authors (including individuals, groups of authors, state management agencies, enterprises, non-governmental organizations, and other organizations), without clearly stating the source and author
- Providing inaccurate information about the author or source of the cited information (for example: information of author A, but the writer cites author B as the source; the source of information is from an unpublished manuscript but is recorded as a published manuscript or book)
- Using more than 30% of your previous academic publication in the new ones of which you are the author or co-author without clearly citation, is called self-plagiarism.
In case, these is any concern of plagiarism, depending on severity, the Editorial Board of the VJFS will apply appropriate handling measures, including:
- Author is required to revise the manuscripts
- Do not consider for publication
- Any serious plagiarism will be subject to legal responsibility under the Law on Intellectual Property of Vietnam
