Plagiarism Policy

The Journal of Advanced Computing and Digital Information Systems (JACDIS) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and publication ethics in accordance with the principles and best practices recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

All submitted manuscripts are subject to similarity screening. JACDIS requires an overall similarity index of less than 20%. However, the similarity score alone does not determine whether plagiarism has occurred; the nature, source, context, and extent of textual overlap must also be considered.

Plagiarism in any form is prohibited, including the use of text, ideas, data, images, tables, figures, or other materials without appropriate acknowledgment. Improper paraphrasing, unattributed reuse of previously published work, and redundant publication are also unacceptable.

Authors must obtain the necessary permissions and comply with applicable copyright requirements and license terms when reproducing or adapting third-party materials, including images, figures, tables, and diagrams. Appropriate attribution must be provided where required.

Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality of their manuscripts, the accuracy of their citations, and the proper acknowledgment of all sources. Self-plagiarism and the reuse of previously published content without appropriate acknowledgment or disclosure are not permitted.

The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) must comply with the journal’s publication ethics requirements. AI tools must not be used to generate plagiarized content, fabricate references, or misrepresent the originality of a manuscript. Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, and integrity of all submitted content and must disclose AI use in accordance with the journal’s applicable policy.

Any suspected plagiarism or related breach of this policy will be addressed in accordance with JACDIS’s Policy on Handling Allegations of Research Misconduct.
