Plagiarism Screening

All submitted manuscripts are subject to similarity screening using appropriate plagiarism-detection tools.

The journal does not rely solely on a numerical similarity percentage. Each case is evaluated qualitatively, taking into consideration:

  • The nature of the similarity;
  • The source of the overlapping text;
  • Properly cited quotations;
  • Statutory and legislative provisions;
  • International treaties and conventions;
  • Judicial decisions;
  • Legal terminology;
  • References and bibliographic material.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to request revisions, reject a manuscript, or take further action where plagiarism or unacceptable academic misconduct is identified.
