Plagiarism Policy

IJMFR has a very rigorous policy on plagiarism, which all authors are required to thoroughly study and abide by.

• IJMFR submission must be free of plagiarism, with a Similarity Index of less than 19% and a single source of less than 5%.
• To submit a manuscript from an M.Phil. M.S., or Ph.D. thesis, the author must include the title of the thesis, supervisor name, department and institution name, and year of submission on original letterhead.
• Plagiarism, data falsification, and picture manipulation are not acceptable. Plagiarism is defined as stealing language, ideas, pictures, or data from another source, even one's own publications, without crediting the original source. Text borrowed from another source must be reused within quotations, with the original source mentioned. If a study's design, manuscript format, or language was influenced by prior publications, they must be fully mentioned.
• Plagiarism detection during peer review may result in paper rejection. If plagiarism is discovered after publication, we may publish a correction, withdraw the article, and exclude the author(s) from future publications.
• Do not modify picture files to misrepresent the original information.
• We reserve the right to amend or withdraw the work and exclude the author(s) from further publishing if anomalous image modification is discovered and verified after it has been published.
• Any claims of publishing misconduct will be looked into by our internally editors, who may also get in touch with the authors' organizations or sponsors if needed. In the event that wrongdoing is discovered, the publication will be retracted or corrected as necessary, and the author may not be allowed to publish in any Streamline Publishers journals in the future.
