ANTI-PLAGIARISM POLICY

Intellectual Network International Journal upholds a strict policy against plagiarism and any form of academic misconduct throughout all stages of the editorial process. Committed to maintaining scientific integrity, the journal ensures that all submitted manuscripts undergo a mandatory originality check using iThenticate, one of the most reputable tools worldwide for detecting textual similarities.

During the initial evaluation, the editorial team reviews both the similarity percentage and the proper citation of sources. If the iThenticate report reveals a high level of similarity or identifies content matching other publications without appropriate acknowledgment, the manuscript will either be rejected outright or returned to the authors for revision, depending on the severity of the issue.

Intellectual Network International Journal adheres to the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and implements its principles in handling cases of plagiarism, content duplication, data manipulation, or other forms of scientific misconduct. In serious instances, the journal reserves the right to notify the authors' affiliated institutions and to impose editorial sanctions in accordance with international standards of ethical academic publishing.
