At BJEST Journal, we uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical research. Plagiarism, in any form, is a serious violation of scholarly principles and can severely compromise the credibility of research. Therefore, we have a strict plagiarism policy to ensure that all published work is original, properly attributed, and meets academic standards.

Similarity Threshold

We allow a maximum of 15% similarity in a manuscript, recognizing that minor similarities may occur when common phrases or references are used. However, any instance of plagiarism exceeding this threshold will result in the rejection of the manuscript. All manuscripts submitted to BJEST Journal will undergo a thorough plagiarism check using advanced detection tools to identify any overlap with existing published works.

Detection and Consequences

If plagiarism is detected, the manuscript will either be returned to the author for revision or rejected, depending on the severity of the issue. Authors must ensure that all sources are appropriately cited, and any borrowed material is clearly acknowledged.
