PLAGIARISM - Bionatura journal

Anti-Plagiarism Policy of BioNatura Journal

Scientific journals take plagiarism very seriously because it undermines the integrity of research and scholarship. BioNatura Journal is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in academic publishing.

All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous plagiarism screening process. BioNatura Journal is a participant in the CrossRef Similarity Check service to ensure the originality of scholarly content. We also utilize other verification methods to detect content indiscriminately generated by artificial intelligence (AI).

General Principles

  • Originality: Submitted manuscripts must be original works that have not been published elsewhere (except for abstracts or conference proceedings).
  • Proper Citation: All sources used in the research, including published and unpublished works, must be properly cited according to the journal's preferred style guide (e.g., VANCOUVER).
  • Self-Plagiarism: Reusing significant portions of one's own previously published work without proper citation is also considered plagiarism.
