Plagiarism Policy

Advances in Educational Innovation (AEI)

Strict standards for originality, AI transparency, research integrity, and ethical scholarly publishing.

????️

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Advances in Educational Innovation (AEI) maintains strict academic integrity standards and applies a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism, redundant publication, self-plagiarism, fabricated data, falsified evidence, citation manipulation, and undisclosed AI-generated content. All submitted manuscripts are screened to ensure originality, transparency, ethical compliance, and alignment with international publication standards.

Manuscripts that fail originality, similarity, or AI-integrity screening may be returned for revision, rejected before peer review, or investigated further according to editorial and publication ethics procedures.

Definitions of Academic Misconduct

Verbatim Copying Icon Verbatim Copying

Using words, data, figures, tables, models, instruments, or educational materials from another source without proper attribution, quotation, or permission where required.

Paraphrasing Icon Substantial Paraphrasing

Rewriting or restructuring another author’s ideas, arguments, theoretical explanations, or research findings without proper citation and acknowledgment.

Reusing substantial parts of one’s own previously published or submitted work, including text, data, tables, or conceptual frameworks, without disclosure and citation.

AI Misconduct Icon AI-Generated Misconduct

Using generative AI tools to produce manuscript content without disclosure, human verification, author responsibility, or appropriate ethical oversight.

Alignment with COPE Guidance on AI and Authorship

AEI follows the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) regarding artificial intelligence and authorship. AI tools may support language refinement, grammar checking, translation assistance, or technical formatting; however, AI tools cannot be listed as authors because they cannot take legal, ethical, or scholarly responsibility for the submitted work.

Detection and Prevention

  • Similarity Screening: Every manuscript may be checked using Turnitin or another recognized similarity detection tool.
  • Similarity Threshold: The acceptable similarity level is normally maximum 12%, excluding references, quotations, and standard methodological terms where applicable.
  • AI Screening: High AI probability or unclear authorship contribution may trigger additional editorial assessment.
  • Manual Verification: Editors reserve the right to conduct qualitative checks beyond automated similarity reports.

Consequences and Retraction

  • Pre-Publication: Manuscripts with confirmed plagiarism, duplicate submission, or undisclosed AI-generated misconduct may be rejected immediately.
  • Post-Publication: Published articles found to violate the policy may be corrected, withdrawn, or formally retracted.
  • Sanctions: Authors may be temporarily or permanently restricted from future submissions, and affiliated institutions may be notified when necessary.

Author Responsibilities

  • Guarantee the originality of the manuscript and cite all primary sources accurately.
  • Ensure that all quoted, paraphrased, adapted, or translated content is properly acknowledged.
  • Disclose any AI-assisted writing, translation, editing, or data-processing support in the ethics statement where applicable.
  • Avoid redundant publication, duplicate submission, salami slicing, and excessive self-citation.
  • Ensure that the manuscript is not simultaneously submitted to another journal.
  • Use reference management and language-support tools responsibly, such as Mendeley, Zotero, DeepL, or Grammarly, while retaining full responsibility for scholarly content.

Special Note for Educational Research

Because AEI publishes research related to teaching, learning, educational institutions, students, teachers, assessment, and learning technologies, authors must ensure that all educational data, classroom observations, student responses, interview excerpts, institutional documents, and learning materials are ethically collected, properly anonymized, and accurately represented. Any use of copyrighted teaching materials, instruments, questionnaires, or learning media must be properly cited and used with permission where required.
