Quality Control and Plagiarism

Quality Control and Plagiarism Prevention at FACCEA Journal

At FACCEA Journal, we are committed to upholding academic integrity and ensuring the highest quality of scientific publications. As part of our rigorous editorial process, we implement measures to prevent plagiarism and guarantee that all submitted articles are original and meet the highest ethical and academic standards.

Use of Turnitin for Similarity Detection

To fulfill this commitment, FACCEA Journal uses Turnitin, a leading plagiarism detection software. This tool allows us to analyze submitted manuscripts and verify their similarity to other published sources, including academic repositories and general web content.

Turnitin Review Process:

  1. Initial Screening:

    • All submitted articles undergo a preliminary Turnitin check before peer review.

    • The software generates a detailed similarity report, highlighting text matches with other sources.

  2. Acceptance Criteria:

    • FACCEA Journal sets a maximum similarity threshold of 15%, excluding properly cited references and common phrases.

    • If the similarity exceeds this limit, the manuscript is returned to the author for revision before proceeding with editorial evaluation.

  3. Citation and Reference Review:

    • Turnitin also helps identify incorrect citations or incomplete references, ensuring proper attribution of all sources used in the research.

  4. Transparency and Trust:

    • The use of Turnitin reinforces the transparency of our editorial process, assuring readers, authors, and reviewers that published articles are original and respect copyright laws.

Why is Turnitin Important?
