Our publication publishes only original materials that do not contain borrowings and meet all the requirements for academic integrity. In matters of preventing plagiarism, the editorial board is guided by the decision of the Academic Council of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University “On approval of the Procedure for checking qualification works, scientific works and educational publications for the presence of borrowings from other documents”.
Before recommending an article for publication in the journal, the text of the submitted article is checked by the “anti-plagiarism” system, according to the results of which the responsible secretary of the issue draws up a certificate indicating the percentage of discovered borrowings. Recommended indicators of originality of articles are:
• by the value of the Similarity Coefficient No. 1 – no more than 20%,
• by the value of the Similarity Coefficient No. 2 – no more than 5%.
If these indicators are exceeded, the article may be rejected. The decision on this is made by the editorial board of the publication. Each article is checked only once, and no further revisions to the text after the plagiarism check are allowed. If an article is rejected due to plagiarism, the text will no longer be considered, even after the author makes the appropriate changes.
The following are considered types of plagiarism:
• Complete copying of someone else's work.
• Using excerpts from someone else's work without proper references to the author.
• Making minor edits to a borrowed fragment without proper citation.
• Retelling in your own words fundamentally important ideas, theories, and conclusions of other scientists without proper citation of their works.
• Autoplagiarism or using your own texts that have already been published in other publications.
Plagiarism after publication.
The following may serve as grounds for re-checking an article for borrowings after its publication in the journal:
• Official statements from readers about their detection of plagiarism (including from works that have been published but not posted on the Internet).
• Double publication or simultaneous publication of the same text by the same author in several publications.
In this case, a commission of editorial board members will be created and relevant experts will be involved, based on whose conclusions a decision will be made on whether to retain or withdraw the already published article.
Recommendations for avoiding plagiarism and the “Alarm” sign when checking the work.
1. Be sure to use quotation marks for phrases that are quoted verbatim.
2. Use different quotation marks when citing a quote within a quote.
3. Use three periods instead of passages omitted in the quote.
4. Write your own comments to the quote in parentheses with your initials.
5. Do not use Latin letters when writing text in Cyrillic and vice versa.
