Plagiarism Policy

• Plagiarism detection in manuscripts submitted to Dorlion is conducted using widely accepted plagiarism detection tools such as iThenticate, Turnitin, or intihal.net.
• During the plagiarism detection process for each manuscript, the identified matches are thoroughly analyzed, and these analyses are compiled into a comprehensive report for the editorial board.
• The editorial board reviews these plagiarism reports and makes a final decision on each manuscript based on the findings.
• The reports address issues such as the copying of information from other sources as if it were the author's own work, or the presentation of previously published work without proper referencing, which includes instances of "self-plagiarism" or "redundant publication."
• Dorlion has set a specific threshold for similarity in its plagiarism detection process: the similarity rate in the full text should be below 15%. This limit aims to maintain the originality of the research and ensure compliance with international standards.
• The plagiarism policies set by DOAJ for journals generally focus on transparency and strict adherence to ethical guidelines. In this context, Dorlion also adopts high ethical standards and internationally recognized guidelines for plagiarism detection.
• A rigorous review process is implemented to ensure that authors and researchers adhere to these standards, and all manuscripts are evaluated with high sensitivity to issues of plagiarism.
