Plagiarism statement
LABSREVIEW strongly emphasizes that writers must adhere to standards of scientific integrity, honesty, completeness, and excellence in research. Additionally, authors are expected to demonstrate transparency and respect for co-authors and research participants.
LABSREVIEW upholds science's ethical and integrity norms and strictly adheres to the guidelines set forth by COPE. It serves as a deterrent against any breaches of academic integrity. Instances of research misconduct in academic integrity:
Plagiarism is taking someone else's ideas, techniques, results, or words without acknowledging their contribution. Academic plagiarism encompasses several materials, such as texts, figures, fragments, mathematical formulas, program codes, etc. This applies to published and unpublished materials, including books, papers, conference proceedings, and manuscripts.
We employ iThenticate to verify the authenticity of the manuscripts that are submitted. iThenticate is a part of the robust similarity check service established by the PILA publishing association and recorded in the CrossRef International Scientific and Research Information Register. This plagiarism checker is well regarded and relied upon by renowned researchers, publishers, and scholars worldwide. Utilizing iThenticate enables the timely identification of probable plagiarism before the publication of works. The program offers comprehensive reports during the review process. Users can easily observe the unambiguous data by utilizing this software to assess the originality of the article. All instances of similarity are highlighted in distinct colors, accompanied by a comprehensive list of links to the sources and the corresponding percentage of plagiarism.
Plagiarism is unacceptable in manuscripts. The Editorial Board will decline articles that exhibit any manifestation of plagiarism. The existence of plagiarism within an article signifies the morally and professionally unacceptable conduct of the author (or co-authors). The co-authors' reputation, as well as that of the publisher, is likely to be compromised.
If the submission contains any plagiarism, the journal's Editorial Board will reject it.
Protocol for addressing accusations of research misconduct.
In the event any ethical breaches are identified throughout the process of manuscript submission, review, or publishing, the Editorial Board will implement the following protocols:
- Notifying all authors and/or reviewers of identified research breaches, failure to comply with publishing ethics, and misconduct.
- Disseminating an official notification containing a comprehensive account of the misbehavior on the journal's website.
- Ceasing the evaluation and assessment of the manuscript (if it has not yet been published) or withdrawing the article (if evidence of unethical conduct is uncovered after publication).
