In the journal Teachers & Pedagogy, we are committed to ensuring academic integrity and the quality of scientific publications. As part of our rigorous editorial process, we implement measures to prevent plagiarism and ensure that all submitted articles are original and meet the highest ethical and academic standards.
Use of Turnitin Software for Similarity Detection
To accomplish this commitment, the journal Teachers & Pedagogy uses Turnitin software, a leading tool for detecting similarities and preventing plagiarism. This software allows us to analyze submitted manuscripts and verify the similarity percentage with other published sources, both in academic repositories and on the web in general.
Review Process with Turnitin:
- Initial Analysis:
- All articles received undergo a preliminary review using Turnitin before moving on to the peer review process.
- The software generates a detailed report indicating the similarity percentage and highlighting sections of text that match with other sources.
- Acceptance criteria:
- The journal Teachers & Pedagogy establishes a maximum similarity limit of 15%, excluding correctly referenced citations and common phrases.
- If the similarity percentage exceeds this limit, the manuscript is returned to the author for revision and correction before continuing with the editorial process.
- Citation and Review References:
- Turnitin also helps us to identify incorrect citations or incomplete references, ensuring that all authors give proper credit to the sources used in their research.
- Transparency and Trust:
- Using Turnitin reinforces the transparency of our editorial process and provides trust to our readers, authors, and reviewers by ensuring that published articles are original and respect copyrights.
