Plagiarism policy
Integrity expectations for all journals on the AcadPress platform.
Principles
AcadPress journals expect original scholarship. Authors must not present others’ work as their own, including text recycling that misrepresents novelty.
Editorial offices may run similarity screening software and expert human review. Outcomes range from revision requests to manuscript rejection and institutional notification for severe misconduct.
Author responsibilities
Cite sources accurately, obtain permission for substantial third-party material, and disclose translation or adaptation of prior work.
AI-assisted drafting must be disclosed where journal policy requires; authors remain accountable for factual accuracy and integrity of the submission.
