Screening Plagiarism

Journal of Social Welfare Research and Practice is committed to upholding academic integrity and ensuring the originality of all published works. All manuscripts submitted to the journal will undergo plagiarism screening using reliable similarity-checking software.

Manuscripts are evaluated for originality by comparing the submitted text with published literature and online sources. A manuscript may be rejected or returned to the author for revision if the similarity index exceeds the journal’s acceptable threshold or if evidence of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data fabrication, or unethical publication practices is identified.

Proper citation and acknowledgment of all sources are the responsibility of the author. The journal follows the guidelines and recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) in handling cases of suspected plagiarism.
