1 PLAGIARISM & SELF-PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is the use of another person’s text, data, argument, table, figure, idea, or findings without proper acknowledgment. Self-plagiarism refers to the reuse of an author’s previously published work without proper citation or disclosure. Both practices are serious violations of publication ethics.
To maintain originality and academic credibility, TAXPEDIA may screen submitted manuscripts using plagiarism detection tools. This screening helps identify text recycling, improper citation, excessive similarity, duplicate publication, and inappropriate reuse of previously published materials.
Similarity Requirements:
- Manuscripts must present original scholarly contribution and proper citation.
- Manuscripts with excessive similarity may be returned for revision or rejected.
- Similarity caused by bibliography, legal provisions, standard terminology, or properly quoted materials will be assessed editorially.
Authors are encouraged to follow academic integrity guidelines and avoid plagiarism, self-plagiarism, improper paraphrasing, and uncited use of sources.
2 DUPLICATE OR REDUNDANT PUBLICATION
Duplicate or redundant publication occurs when an author submits or publishes substantially similar work in more than one publication venue without proper disclosure, permission, or citation. This may include overlapping data, analysis, arguments, tables, conclusions, or translated versions of previously published work.
TAXPEDIA does not accept manuscripts that are simultaneously under review in another journal, book, conference proceeding, or publication platform. If part of the manuscript has appeared in another form, such as a working paper, report, thesis, dissertation, conference abstract, or preprint, authors must clearly disclose this information during submission.
Editorial Action: If duplicate submission or redundant publication is identified, the manuscript may be rejected. If discovered after publication, the journal may issue a correction, expression of concern, or retraction depending on the severity of the case.
3 PREPRINT POLICY
Authors submitting to TAXPEDIA may deposit their Author’s Original Manuscript or pre-submission version on a non-commercial preprint server, institutional repository, or academic repository before acceptance, provided that this is fully disclosed at the time of submission.
If a manuscript has been posted as a preprint, authors must include the preprint citation or link in the submission statement. The editorial team may consider the relationship between the preprint and the submitted manuscript to ensure transparency and avoid duplicate publication concerns.
After the article is published in TAXPEDIA, authors are encouraged to update the preprint record with the final published article link, DOI, and journal citation, so readers can access and cite the peer-reviewed version.
Restriction: TAXPEDIA does not consider manuscripts that have already been formally published or are under active review in another journal, book, or scholarly publication.
