Plagiarism

Plagiarism in all its forms is considered unethical behavior. In cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct or plagiarism concerning the text, data, or results, the Editorial Board will take all reasonable steps to clarify the situation. The authors are informed on the claims in writing and are asked for explanation. Unanswered claims are directed further to the institution in which the authors are affiliated. Further, depending on the severity of a given case of misconduct, there follows publication of an erratum, clarification or, in the most severe case, the retraction of the affected work.

Authors should not copy or plagiarize other people's works. When using someone else's text, ideas, or opinions, they should appropriately quote and attribute the source. Plagiarism is considered a serious ethical violation in the academic and scientific community. Authors should check their texts for plagiarism and copyright infringements before submitting to the Journal of Science-Technology-Innovation Ecosystem (JSTIE). Author(s) should use plagiarism detection tool (iThenticate) to examine their texts and safeguard the intellectual property rights of others. So, the similarity rate of the article(s) submit to the JSTIE should not exceed 24%, excluding the bibliography/References section.
