Anti-plagiarism policy

Disclaimer

The journal “Prospective Technologies and Devices” adheres to the highest standards of academic integrity. All authors submitting manuscripts are fully responsible for the originality of their work and proper citation of scientific sources. Authors are required to strictly adhere to the ethical principles of scientific research and citation.

 

Scope of originality and acceptable use

Only original, previously unpublished manuscripts are accepted for publication. Submitted materials should not have been published in other publications in any language or be under consideration in other journals. The use of other materials – texts, data or ideas – must be accompanied by appropriate citation.

 

Plagiarism detection procedure

To ensure compliance, the journal “Prospective Technologies and Devices” uses iThenticate software to detect text borrowings and possible plagiarism. The system checks both online sources and the journal’s internal databases.

The editorial board analyzes all cases of detected plagiarism and reserves the right to refuse to review the submitted manuscript.

Scientific articles submitted to the journal editorial board are checked according to the following indicators:

– if the level of originality of the manuscript exceeds 85% – the material is accepted for review;

– if the level of originality is from 75% to 85% – the scientific article is returned to the authors for revision with a recommendation to eliminate text borrowings and submit a revised version;

– if the level of originality is below 75% – the material is not accepted for review;

– no more than 3% of borrowed text from one source is allowed.

 

Editorial response to plagiarism

The editorial board reserves the right to refuse to review or publish any manuscript containing signs of plagiarism. Plagiarism – regardless of whether it is detected before or after publication – is considered a serious violation of ethics.

If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the editorial board:

– conducts a thorough investigation;

– formally notifies the author(s);

– takes appropriate action, which may include retracting the article, publishing an erratum, or notifying the relevant institutions.

 

Ethical Compliance and Institutional Standards

This policy is in line with the recommendations of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) and reflects international standards of research integrity. All participants in the process – authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers – are required to adhere to the highest standards of professional conduct and academic ethics.

Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable, considered unethical, and violates the norms of professional conduct in the relationship between authors, reviewers, editors, publishers, and readers, which is contrary to the provisions on publication ethics.
