PLAGIARISM POLICY

The Global Journal of Social Sciences and Scientific Studies (GJSSS) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical publishing. The journal strictly follows a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism and any form of academic misconduct. Authors are expected to ensure that their submitted manuscripts are original and properly cite all sources used in their research.

Plagiarism includes the use of another author’s ideas, words, data, or work without proper acknowledgment, as well as the reuse of one’s own previously published work without appropriate citation (self-plagiarism). Such practices are considered unethical and unacceptable in scholarly publishing.

All manuscripts submitted to the Global Journal of Social Sciences and Scientific Studies (GJSSS) are carefully screened for plagiarism using reliable plagiarism detection software before being sent for peer review. If a manuscript is found to contain a significant level of similarity or unacknowledged content, it may be rejected immediately or returned to the author for correction.

Authors must ensure that all quotations, references, data, tables, and figures taken from other sources are properly cited and credited in accordance with the journal’s referencing guidelines. Proper citation not only acknowledges the original source but also strengthens the credibility of the research.

If plagiarism or unethical practices are discovered at any stage of the review or publication process, the editorial board reserves the right to take appropriate action. This may include rejection of the manuscript, withdrawal of the published article, or notifying the author’s institution if necessary.

By submitting a manuscript to the Global Journal of Social Sciences and Scientific Studies (GJSSS), authors confirm that their work is entirely original, that all sources have been appropriately cited, and that the manuscript complies with the journal’s ethical and publication standards.

The Global Journal of Social Sciences and Scientific Studies (GJSSS) is dedicated to promoting responsible research practices and maintaining transparency, integrity, and credibility in academic publishing.
