Policy of Screening for Plagiarism

Similarity Check
For editorial originality, Similarity Check helps editors compare the text of submitted papers for similarity. Similarity Check is a service for editors who want an extra check. The service helps IRJMIS editors to actively engage in efforts to prevent scholarly and professional plagiarism by providing editorial teams with access to Turnitin’s powerful text comparison tool, iThenticate.

With editors under increased pressure to assess higher volumes of manuscript submissions each year, it’s important to find a fast, cost-effective solution that can fit seamlessly into submission workflows. Similarity Check allows editors to upload a paper, and receive a report giving immediate feedback regarding a manuscript’s similarity to other published academic and general web content. And as the iThenticate database contains full-text scholarly content items, editors can be confident that Similarity Check will provide a comprehensive and reliable addition to their workflow.

As members contribute their own published content into iThenticate’s database of full-text literature, the service is open to all editor who is actively publishing and assigning Crossref DOIs to IRJMIS article content.
