Anti-Plagiarism

The journal ("Studies in History and Philosophy of Science and Technology") accepts for publication only original materials, articles that have not been published before and have not been submitted for publication in another journal.

The editorial board considers as plagiarism deliberate, negligent or dishonest use of intellectual property, complete or partial copying of another author's text without reference to it. The authors bear full personal responsibility for the originality of the materials submitted for review, as well as for observing the ethics of scientific citation. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable.

All materials submitted for review are checked for text originality using appropriate software. Manuscripts in which plagiarism or textual borrowings without references to the original source are found are rejected by the editorial board from publication in the journal.

Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright permission for reproduction of illustrations, tables, figures borrowed from other authors and/or from other sources..

Plagiarism check policy

Manuscripts in which plagiarism is detected are evaluated by the editorial board according to the amount of plagiarism detected. The uniqueness of the text must be at least 85%. If the uniqueness of the text is medium and low (75–84%), the work requires revision and refinement. The manuscript is sent to the authors for revision of the content and resubmission for consideration in a new version of the manuscript. If the uniqueness is below 75%, the manuscript is rejected without editorial review and the right to further consideration.

Tips for avoiding plagiarism

  1. Use quotation marks for any text fragment, of a sentence or more, taken verbatim or with minor changes from a source (with reference to this source).
  2. When arbitrarily retelling another author's text, a reference to the author must be included at least once in each paragraph of the arbitrarily rewritten text.
  3. If the quotation is not given by the original source, a link to the direct source of the quotation must be given ("cited by: ")
  4. Do not change parts of the quote in the context of the sentence
  5. Use separate quotation marks within a quotation
  6. Use an ellipsis (space and ellipsis) for part of the omitted quote
  7. Use brackets to add your own words

Plagiarism after publication

Plagiarism detected after publication of the article is analyzed by the editorial board. If plagiarism is discovered, the editorial board will contact the author. Pages containing plagiarism will be flagged in the PDF file. Depending on the scale of the plagiarism, the document may also be retracted using the retraction mechanism.
