Plagiarism Check

Policy of Plagiarism Screening

Manuscripts submitted to the Journal ELPER-Tech (Electronic Logic Power-Technology) are subject to plagiarism screening using Turnitin and/or iThenticate plagiarism detection software. The Journal ELPER-Tech will immediately reject any manuscript found to contain plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Prior to the peer-review process, each submitted manuscript undergoes a similarity assessment conducted by a member of the editorial team. Only manuscripts with a similarity index of less than 25% will proceed to the peer-review stage.

Plagiarism is defined as the act of presenting another person's ideas, words, data, figures, or intellectual work as one's own without obtaining permission, providing proper acknowledgment, or citing the original source appropriately. Plagiarism may occur in various forms, ranging from direct copying to paraphrasing another author's work without appropriate attribution.

To evaluate potential plagiarism, the Journal ELPER-Tech (Electronic Logic Power-Technology) recognizes the following forms of plagiarism:

1. Literal Copying

   Literal copying occurs when an author reproduces another author's work word-for-word, either partially or entirely, without permission, proper acknowledgment, or appropriate citation of the original source. This form of plagiarism can generally be identified through comparison between the submitted manuscript and the original publication.

2. Substantial Copying

   Substantial copying refers to the reproduction of a significant portion of another author's work without permission, acknowledgment, or proper citation. The term "substantial" refers not only to the quantity of copied material but also to its qualitative significance within the original work. In the context of intellectual property, qualitative significance reflects the relative importance of the copied content to the overall work.

3. Paraphrasing

   Paraphrasing involves rewriting another author's ideas, concepts, words, or phrases using different sentence structures while preserving the original meaning. This practice becomes unethical when the original source is not properly cited or acknowledged. Since paraphrased text may differ substantially from the original wording, this form of plagiarism is often the most difficult to detect.
