Plagiarism Policy: Advances in Administration (AVITI)

Ensuring the originality and integrity of published research is essential to maintaining the quality and credibility of Advances in Administration (AVITI). To uphold these standards, we implement a strict plagiarism policy:

1. Definition of Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the act of presenting someone else's work, ideas, or words as one’s own without proper attribution. This includes copying text, images, data, or concepts from other sources without appropriate acknowledgment.

2. Plagiarism Threshold: AVITI adheres to a maximum plagiarism threshold of 12%. Manuscripts exceeding this limit will undergo further scrutiny and may be rejected.

3. Plagiarism Detection: All submitted manuscripts are screened using reputable plagiarism detection software to identify potential instances of plagiarism. This process compares the manuscript against a comprehensive database of academic and online sources.

4. Author Responsibility: Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality of their work. All sources must be accurately cited, and any borrowed content, including direct quotations and paraphrases, must be properly attributed.

5. Self-Plagiarism: Authors must avoid self-plagiarism, which occurs when significant portions of previously published work are reused without proper citation. Any overlap with prior publications must be disclosed.

6. Editorial Action: In cases of detected plagiarism, the editorial team will take appropriate action, which may include manuscript rejection, notification to the authors' institutions, or prohibition of future submissions from offending authors.

7. Appeals Process: Authors have the right to appeal editorial decisions related to plagiarism. Appeals must be submitted in writing, along with a detailed explanation and supporting evidence.

8. Educational Outreach: AVITI is committed to educating authors about the importance of academic integrity and proper citation practices. We provide resources and guidance to help authors avoid unintentional plagiarism.

By adhering to this plagiarism policy, Advances in Administration (AVITI) aims to promote originality and uphold the highest standards of academic integrity in research publication. For any questions or concerns regarding plagiarism, please contact the editorial office.
