Plagiarism, Text Recycling and Citation Integrity
GMR evaluates unattributed copying, redundant publication, fabricated references and manipulative citation practices.
Screening and assessment
Manuscripts may be screened with similarity-detection tools and manual checks. Editors assess context and source material rather than applying an automatic percentage cutoff.
Prohibited conduct
- Copying text, ideas, data, tables or figures without appropriate attribution or permission.
- Submitting substantially overlapping work without transparent disclosure.
- Recycling methods text beyond reasonable and clearly attributed reuse.
- Citing nonexistent, retracted or unverifiable sources without appropriate identification.
- Using AI-generated references without verification.
- Coercive or irrelevant citation requests intended to inflate citations.
Actions
Depending on severity and publication stage, the journal may request correction, reject the manuscript, notify another journal or institution, issue a correction, expression of concern or retraction, and restrict future participation.
Questions or concerns
Use the appropriate secure route when a matter requires a documented response.
