Screening for Plagiarism

SCREENING FOR PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

Plagiarism Screening

JEET upholds strict standards of academic integrity and does not tolerate plagiarism or self-plagiarism in any form. All submitted manuscripts must be original and free from uncredited or improperly cited material. To ensure compliance, every manuscript is screened using Turnitin plagiarism detection software at two stages: upon initial submission and prior to final publication. Manuscripts containing plagiarized content will be rejected.

Initial submission threshold:

Manuscripts must not exceed 25% overall similarity. Submissions showing a similarity score above 25% will be returned to the authors and will not proceed to peer review.

Final publication threshold:

Accepted manuscripts are rechecked before publication and must not exceed 20% similarity. Authors will be required to revise manuscripts exceeding this limit. Only papers meeting the similarity requirement will be processed for publication.

Any intentional attempts to manipulate similarity results or conceal plagiarism will result in immediate rejection. Revised submissions of such manuscripts will not be reconsidered.

Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)

JEET regulates the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in manuscript preparation. Authors may use such tools for no more than 30% of the manuscript content, as determined by Turnitin AI Detection or other editorially approved systems.

Manuscripts exceeding the permitted AI-generated content threshold will be rejected during the preliminary evaluation. Authors are fully responsible for the authenticity, originality, and accuracy of their work. AI tools may be used solely for language refinement or technical editing and must not be used to generate substantive content, analyses, arguments, or complete sections of the manuscript.

This policy reflects the journal’s commitment to scholarly integrity, originality, and responsible authorship. Violations may result in rejection or retraction, depending on severity.

Disclosure Requirement

Authors must disclose any use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools during manuscript preparation at the time of submission. A declaration should be included in a separate section placed before the reference list. This statement will appear in the published article.

Format example:

Declaration of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies in the Manuscript Preparation Process:

"During the preparation of this manuscript, the author(s) used [NAME OF TOOL/SERVICE] for [PURPOSE]. The author(s) reviewed and revised the content and assume full responsibility for the final version."

Disclosure is not required for basic tools used for grammar, spelling, or reference checking. If no AI tools were used, no declaration is necessary.
