Plagiarism & Similarity Screening

All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Management and Organization Research are subject to similarity screening before publication.

The journal uses:

[iThenticate / Turnitin / other service actually used]

Similarity reports are used as an editorial assessment tool and are not treated as automatic evidence of plagiarism.

Editors evaluate:

• the amount of matching material;
• location of similarities;
• source of matched text;
• whether attribution is provided;
• whether similarities involve methods or standard terminology;
• whether substantial ideas or expressions have been copied; and
• whether previous publications by the authors have been appropriately acknowledged.

Proper quotations, commonly used methodological terminology, references, affiliations, and other unavoidable expressions may result in legitimate matches.

Plagiarism, inappropriate paraphrasing, substantial unattributed copying, or duplicate publication may result in rejection or investigation.

If a numerical internal guideline is used, state it transparently as:

Similarity Guideline: [XX%]

A numerical similarity score alone does not determine whether a manuscript constitutes plagiarism.
