All manuscripts submitted to JIRER are screened using plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin or similar tools).

If potential plagiarism is detected, the editorial team will evaluate the severity of the overlap and determine the appropriate action.

  1. Author Notification

Authors will be informed of any plagiarism findings and may be asked to revise the manuscript or provide clarification.

Minor plagiarism: Authors must revise the manuscript appropriately before proceeding.

Major plagiarism or repeated offense: The manuscript will be rejected.
