Screening for Plagiarism

Plagiarism Screening Policy

To prevent academic dishonesty, ICOSS enforces a zero-tolerance policy towards plagiarism.

Threshold Rule: All submitted manuscripts will be screened using Turnitin. The maximum allowable similarity index is 15% overall, with no individual source exceeding 3%.

Submissions exceeding this threshold will be immediately rejected or returned to the author for revision prior to peer review.
