Anti-Plagiarism and Research Code of Ethics Guidelines for Advances in Environmental Innovation (ANEVA)

To ensure compliance with the anti-plagiarism policy and uphold ethical standards in research, Advances in Environmental Innovation (ANEVA) provides the following guidelines:

  1. Understanding Plagiarism: Authors must fully comprehend the concept of plagiarism and its implications. Plagiarism undermines academic integrity, damages author credibility, and erodes trust within the scientific community.

  2. Plagiarism Threshold: ANEVA enforces a maximum plagiarism threshold of 12% for submitted manuscripts. Authors are responsible for ensuring that the level of similarity in their manuscripts does not exceed this limit.

  3. Use of TURNITIN: Prior to submission, authors are encouraged to use plagiarism detection tools such as TURNITIN to assess the originality of their manuscript. This helps authors identify and rectify any instances of unintentional plagiarism.

  4. Effective Paraphrasing: When referencing ideas or text from other sources, authors should employ effective paraphrasing techniques. Tools like QuillBot or Grammarly can assist in paraphrasing, but authors must ensure that the content remains original and aligns with their own writing style.

  5. Citation Management with Mendeley: For citing external sources, authors should utilize Mendeley and adhere to APA Style 7 standards. This includes accurately quoting sources and correctly listing them in the reference section of the manuscript.

  6. Language Quality Assurance: Manuscripts written in English should undergo language quality assurance to facilitate international readability. Applications like DEELP (Deep Language Processing) can assist in ensuring that the English translation meets universal standards.

Code of Ethics

ANEVA emphasizes adherence to a robust research code of ethics to maintain truth and integrity in research:

  • Importance of Research Ethics: A research code of conduct establishes principles that uphold ethical and professional research practices, emphasizing honesty, integrity, and credibility from planning to publication.

  • Prevention of Data Fraud: Data fraud, such as manipulation or falsification of data, is strictly prohibited. Authors must accurately report research data and results to prevent misleading scientific claims.

  • Respect for Intellectual Property: Unauthorized use or replication of someone else's manuscript or research ideas without proper attribution is considered plagiarism and violates copyright laws. Authors should obtain permission and give appropriate credit when utilizing others' work.

By adhering to these guidelines and ethical principles, authors contribute to maintaining the integrity of research and fostering a trustworthy scholarly environment in environmental innovation.
