Screening for Plagiarism Policy
QUBICSENTRUM: Journal of Management and Business is committed to maintaining the originality and academic integrity of all published articles. Every submitted manuscript undergoes a similarity check using plagiarism detection software, such as Turnitin, iThenticate, or other equivalent tools, before entering the peer-review process and prior to publication.
The journal establishes a maximum similarity tolerance of 20%, excluding the reference list and properly cited quotations. Similarity from a single source is also evaluated separately to ensure that there are no indications of using another party's work or ideas without appropriate attribution.
Similarity reports are not assessed solely based on the overall percentage. Editors evaluate the results contextually by considering direct quotations, common terminology, research methodology, reference lists, and other relevant sources.
If plagiarism, duplicate publication, or the use of materials without proper attribution is suspected, the editor reserves the right to request clarification, return the manuscript for revision, or reject the submission depending on the severity of the violation and the journal's publication ethics policies.
