Plagiarism Policy
Asian Management and Entrepreneurship Journal (AMEJ) publishes articles that contain original research that is updated and guaranteed by the authors and has not been previously published in other journals/proceedings and/or other publications. All manuscripts, before being submitted for external peer-review, will be checked for originality and tested with Turnitin or Unicheck software. By submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors agree to the required originality checks.
Plagiarism implies the use of another author's work without permission or acknowledgement. Manuscripts with less than 80% originality will be rejected by the editors before peer-reviewing.
Asian Management and Entrepreneurship Journal (AMEJ), while defining plagiarism, considers the following definition:
- Literal copying is copying an article word for word, in general, or in part, without permission or acknowledgement of the source. Literal copying is clear plagiarism and is easily detected by plagiarism software.
- Substantial copying is replicating a large part of an article without permission and confirmation of the source. In determining what is "substantial", both the quantity and quality of the copied content are relevant. Quality is measured by the relative value of the copied text compared to the whole text. Where the essence of the work is copied, not even a very large part then plagiarism will be identified.
- Paraphrasing i.e. copying can be done without literal replication, which is used in the original work. This type of copying is known as paraphrasing and is perhaps the most difficult type of plagiarism to reveal.
High plagiarism in the manuscript, will lead to immediate rejection of the manuscript by the editorial board along with possible sanctions against the author
