Anti-Plagiarism Policy

JAMRIS uses anti-plagiarism screening to support originality and publication ethics. All submitted manuscripts may be checked with iThenticate through Crossref Similarity Check before they proceed further in the editorial process. Similarity is assessed on the basis of the manuscript as a whole.

The similarity threshold applied by JAMRIS is 20%.

Plagiarism, including the unattributed use of another person’s work in whole or in part, is treated as a serious breach of publication ethics. Self-plagiarism, including the excessive reuse of one’s own previously published material without proper acknowledgement, is also not acceptable.

If a manuscript raises serious concerns regarding originality, the Editorial Board may reject the submission, withdraw a published article, and take further action where appropriate, including notifying the authors’ institution or other relevant parties. For general ethical standards, authors should also consult the journal’s Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement and the Submissions page.
