Plagiarism Policy: Advances in Nutrition Innovation (NUTRI)

Ensuring the originality and integrity of published research is paramount to maintaining the quality and credibility of Advances in Nutrition Innovation (NUTRI). As such, we have implemented the following plagiarism policy in line with international standards:

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

Acceptable Plagiarism Threshold:
NUTRI adheres to a maximum plagiarism threshold of 12%. Manuscripts found to exceed this threshold will undergo further investigation and may be rejected.

Plagiarism Detection Software:
All submitted manuscripts undergo rigorous plagiarism screening using reputable plagiarism detection software. This software compares the manuscript against a vast database of academic and online sources to identify instances of plagiarism.

Author Responsibility:
Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality of their work and must accurately cite and reference all sources used in their manuscript. Any borrowed content, including direct quotations, paraphrases, and ideas, must be properly attributed.

Self-Plagiarism:
Authors should avoid self-plagiarism, which occurs when significant portions of their previously published work are reused without proper citation. Any overlap between submitted manuscripts and previous publications must be disclosed and appropriately referenced.

Editorial Action:
In cases where plagiarism or significant overlap with other works is detected, the editorial team will take appropriate action based on the severity and extent of the plagiarism. This may include rejection of the manuscript and notification of the authors' institutions or funding agencies.

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

Educational Outreach:
NUTRI 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 and adhere to ethical standards in their research.
