Plagiarism

The Journal of Digital Communication Psychology is committed to maintaining academic integrity and ensuring the originality of all published works. All submitted manuscripts will undergo plagiarism screening using Turnitin to identify similarities with previously published works and other sources.

Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are original, properly cite all sources, and appropriately acknowledge the ideas and contributions of other researchers. Plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, and other forms of academic misconduct are strictly prohibited.

Manuscripts identified with significant or inappropriate similarities will be subject to further editorial evaluation. The editorial team reserves the right to request revisions, reject manuscripts, or take other appropriate actions in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policies.

The final decision will be based on a comprehensive assessment of the similarity report, the nature of the identified overlap, proper citation practices, and the originality of the manuscript's scholarly contribution. A similarity score alone will not determine whether plagiarism has occurred.
