Panoply Journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality, original research that advances knowledge in our field. To ensure the integrity of our scholarship, we employ rigorous plagiarism checks on all submitted manuscripts.

Why Plagiarism Checks?

• Upholding Academic Integrity: We value ethical research practices and aim to publish work that is free from plagiarism. This strengthens the credibility of our journal and the research it disseminates.
• Respecting Authors and Readers: We believe authors deserve recognition for their original contributions, and readers have the right to accurate information.

What to Expect During Submission:

• Prior to Submission: Authors are encouraged to ensure their work is original, properly cites sources, and follows ethical writing guidelines. We recommend reviewing our authorship guidelines for detailed information.
• During Review: We utilize advanced plagiarism detection software to assess the originality of your manuscript and adherence to ethical practices.
• Post-Submission: In cases of plagiarism, we will address the issue based on severity. This may include requesting revisions, manuscript rejection, or further action deemed necessary.

Our Commitment

We appreciate the dedication authors invest in their research and their desire to contribute to Panoply Journal. Plagiarism checks serve to protect your work and foster a responsible, ethical scholarly environment. Panoply Journal also offers resources to support authors throughout the submission process, including guidance on ensuring originality. 

Acceptable Plagiarism Threshold:

Panoply Journal maintains a strict policy against plagiarism. Ideally, submitted manuscripts should exhibit minimal to no unoriginal content. However, a small percentage of unintentional paraphrasing or incidental matches (less than 5-10% excluding references) may occur. We will consider these cases on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the severity and nature of the plagiarism.

By implementing these policies, Panoply Journal strives to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and foster a culture of original, impactful research.
