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 intentional, negligent or dishonest use of intellectual property, full or partial copying of another author's text without reference to it. The authors are fully responsible for the originality of the materials submitted for the review, as well as for the ethics of scientific citations. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable.

All materials submitted for review go through the procedure of verifying the authenticity of the text using the appropriate software. Manuscripts in which plagiarism or textual borrowings are found without reference to the original source are rejected by the editorial board from publication in the journal.

Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, drawings 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 detected plagiarism. If the percentage of plagiarism is in the range of 10% to 15% - the manuscript is sent to the authors for review and re-submission for consideration in a new version of the manuscript; if the plagiarism exceeds 15% - the manuscript is rejected without editorial review. Authors are encouraged to review text borrowings and plagiarism of the manuscript and resubmit in a new manuscript.

Recommendations for avoiding plagiarism

  1. Use quotation marks for any text fragment of a sentence or more, taken verbatim or with minor changes from the source (with reference to this source).
  2. In the case of an arbitrary retelling of another author's text, the reference to the author must be included at least once in each paragraph of the text of the arbitrary retelling.
  3. If the citation is not from the original source, reference should be made to the direct source of the citation ("cited by:")
  4. Do not change parts of the quote in the context of the sentence
  5. Use individual characters for the quote in the quote
  6. Use three dots (space and three dots) for the part of the omitted quotation
  7. Use parentheses for added own words

Plagiarism after publication

Plagiarism detected after the publication of the article is analyzed by the editorial board. Upon the fact of detected plagiarism, the editorial board will contact the author. Pages that contain plagiarism will be marked in the PDF file. Depending on the extent of the plagiarism, the document may also be revoked or deleted.
