Plagiarism Policy

Journal of Quality Standards and Research is committed to publish original and unpublished material to maintain the integrity of the scientific record. The corresponding author must affirm that all of the other authors have read and approved of the manuscript. All research papers submitted to Journal of Quality Standards and Research are screened for plagiarism. If a research paper contains traces of plagiarism, Journal of Quality Standards and Research will lead an investigation on the matter and will take further action depending on the type of plagiarism. Further, authors must assure that the manuscript is not being considered for publication in whole or in part elsewhere. Processing on manuscripts found to have been published elsewhere or under review will be suspended and authors will consequently suffer sanctions. Journal of Quality Standards and Research uses "Turnitin" plagiarism tool and plagiarism detected above 20% in an article is not considered for publishing.
