Plagiarism Policy

The Applied STEAM Research and Innovation (JASRI) upholds strict standards of academic integrity and originality in research publications. Authors are required to submit a Turnitin report along with their manuscript submission to verify the originality of their work.

All submitted manuscripts undergo similarity screening as part of the editorial assessment process. The journal considers plagiarism, inappropriate reuse of previously published content, and unacknowledged sources as serious violations of academic integrity.

Manuscripts demonstrating substantial similarity with existing publications may be rejected or returned to authors for clarification and appropriate revision. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources, ideas, data, and contributions from other works are properly acknowledged.

It is strongly recommended that the similarity index be maintained below 10%, excluding references. All references used in the manuscript must be accurately cited within the text and properly listed in the reference section. Additionally, all charts, graphs, figures, and other materials included in the manuscript must either be original creations of the authors or properly cited when adapted or reproduced from existing sources.
