Plagiarism Policy

The International Conference on Culture, Language, and Literature (ICCuLL) upholds strict standards to prevent any form of academic misconduct, including plagiarism and self-plagiarism. The following policy outlines the ethical expectations and procedural steps concerning plagiarism:

General Provisions

  • Originality: Authors must ensure that their submitted manuscripts represent entirely original works. If the authors have used the work or words of others, proper acknowledgment through citation or quotation is required.
  • Prohibition of Redundant Publication: Authors are not permitted to submit the same manuscript to more than one publication simultaneously or publish substantially similar content in multiple publications. Such actions constitute unethical publishing behavior and will not be tolerated.
  • Citation Obligations: Proper credit must always be given to the work of others. Authors are expected to cite all publications that have significantly influenced the design or interpretation of the reported study.
  • Zero Tolerance: Both plagiarism (copying others’ work without citation) and self-plagiarism (reusing one’s own previously published work without proper citation) are strictly prohibited in any form.

Working Process

To ensure compliance with this policy, the Editorial Team follows a two-step verification process:

  • Manual Screening: Each submitted manuscript is first reviewed manually by the editorial team, which includes checking the accuracy of citations and quotations by comparing the manuscript against offline and online academic databases.
  • Plagiarism Detection Software: Manuscripts are subsequently screened using Turnitin application. If the similarity index exceeds 30% (excluding references and quotes), the editorial board reserves the right to reject the manuscript immediately.

This policy is designed to maintain the integrity of academic publishing and uphold the trust of the scholarly community. Authors are encouraged to check their manuscripts thoroughly before submission to avoid any ethical breaches.
