Posted in ijras

IJRAS shall take serious action against published manuscripts found to contain plagiarism and shall completely remove it from IJRAS website and other third party websites where the paper is listed and indexed. The moment, any article published in IJRAS or TimeLine database is reported to be plagiarized, IJRAS will constitute a Fact Finding Committee (FFC) to investigate the same. Upon having established that the manuscript is plagiarized from some previously published work, IJRAS shall support the original author and manuscript irrespective of the publisher and may take any or all of the following immediate actions or follow the additional course of actions as recommended by the committee:

  • IJRAS shall repalce the PDF copy of the published manuscript from the website and disable all links to full text article with notice of plagiarism.
  • IJRAS shall disable the author account with the journal and reject all future submissions from the author for a period of 03 / 05 / 10 years or even ban the authors permanently.
  • IJRAS may also display the list of such authors along with their full contact details on the IJRAS and TimeLine website.


Any other course of action, as recommended by the Committee or as deemed fit for the instant case or as decided by the Editorial Board, from time to time.

 

The following types of plagiarism are considered by IJRAS:

  • Full Plagiarism: Previously published content without any changes to the text, idea and grammar is considered as full plagiarism. It involves presenting exact text from a source as one’s own.
  • Partial Plagiarism: If content is a mixture from multiple different sources, where the author has extensively rephrased text, then it is known as partial plagiarism.
  • Self-Plagiarism: When an author reuses complete or portions of their per-published research, then it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self- plagiarism is a case when an author republishes their own previously published work in a new journal.


Policy and Action for Plagiarism

IJRAS respects intellectual property and aims at protecting and promoting original work of its authors. Manuscripts containing plagiarized material are against the standards of quality, research and innovation. Hence, all authors submitting articles to IJRAS are expected to abide ethical standards and abstain from plagiarism, in any form. In case, an author is found to be suspected of plagiarism in a submitted or published manuscript then, IJRAS shall contact the author (s) to submit his / her (their) explanation within 10 days, which may be forwarded to the Fact Finding Committee (FFC) constituted for the purpose, for further course of action. If IJRAS does not receive any response from the author within the stipulated time period, then the Director / Dean / Head of the concerned College, Institution or Organization or the Vice Chancellor of the University to which the author is affiliated shall be contacted to take strict action against the concerned author.
