PLAGIARISM SCREENING

In its publication, QJMS takes a strong stance against all forms of plagiarism. QJMS is steadfastly committed to preventing not just overt plagiarism but also self-plagiarism.

Authors are expected to submit entirely original works. In instances where the work or words of others are utilized, they should be properly cited or quoted. Manuscripts that do not meet this standard are subject to immediate rejection, and it is highly advised that authors adhere to these principles. Moreover, submissions should not contain any significant portion of previously published work.

Before submitting their manuscript to QJMS, authors are encouraged to conduct a plagiarism check. For verifying the authenticity of submitted articles, QJMS recommends the use of the Turnitin Plagiarism Scanner available at http://turnitin.com. This tool is user-friendly and free to use. QJMS accepts manuscripts with a similarity rate of up to 20 percent. For authors using Turnitin for the first time, it is advisable to consult the tool's usage guidelines.
