Plagiarism & Research Misconduct

Submitted manuscripts may be evaluated using appropriate similarity-detection software.

Similarity reports are interpreted academically and are not judged solely according to a numerical similarity percentage.

IJPHR does not permit plagiarism, fabrication or falsification of data, duplicate publication, inappropriate image manipulation, citation manipulation or other forms of research misconduct.

Where concerns arise, authors may be asked to provide explanations, original data or supporting documentation.

Appropriate editorial or post-publication action may be taken according to the seriousness of the concern.
