Plagiarism Policy

• The International Academic Journal of Economics (IAJE) is dedicated to maintaining rigorous academic and ethical standards.

• Plagiarism is defined as using someone else’s work, ideas, data, or words without proper acknowledgment.

• This includes verbatim copying, paraphrasing without citation, and presenting another’s research findings as one’s own.

• Self-plagiarism, or recycling one’s own previously published work without disclosure, is also prohibited.

• All submitted manuscripts undergo plagiarism screening using advanced detection software before peer review.

• Manuscripts with detected plagiarism will be rejected outright or withdrawn if discovered post-publication.

• Authors are required to certify that their submission is original and has not been published or submitted elsewhere.

• Proper citation of all sources, including data, images, and prior research, is mandatory.

• Authors must disclose any overlap with their previous publications or related manuscripts.

• IAJE expects authors to maintain transparency and honesty in all aspects of their research and reporting.

• If plagiarism is suspected or reported, the editorial team will conduct a thorough investigation following COPE guidelines.

• Confirmed cases of plagiarism may result in rejection, retraction, and notification of the authors’ institutions or funding bodies.

• The journal reserves the right to ban authors who repeatedly violate ethical standards from future submissions.

• Reviewers and editors are also tasked with reporting any suspected plagiarism during the review process.

• IAJE promotes ethical scholarship to preserve the integrity, credibility, and reliability of published economic research.
