Plagiarism Policy

Authors must ensure that they have written original work, and that if the author has used the work and/or words of others, that they have been appropriately cited.

The Journal of Marketing, Business, Creativity and Communication (MAGNIFIC) Editorial Board recognizes that plagiarism is unacceptable and therefore established the following policy stating specific actions (penalties) when plagiarism is identified in articles submitted for publication on MAGNIFIC.

All manuscripts will undergo a pre-review plagiarism check using Turnitin. The screening process will be carried out by the Editor who has been appointed by the Editorial Board after the manuscript is received.

 

Definition

Plagiarism is an intentional or unintentional act in obtaining or attempting to obtain credit or value for a scientific work, by citing part or all of the work and/or scientific work of another party that is recognized as his scientific work, without stating the source properly and adequately.

 

Level of Plagiarism

1. Plagiarizing part of a short sentence from another article without citing the source. Action: The author is given a warning and a request to change the text and cite correctly.

2. Plagiarizing most of another article without proper citation and without citing the source.

 

Action

The submitted article is rejected for publication in MAGNIFIC and the Author may be sanctioned to not be allowed to publish in MAGNIFIC.

 

All article authors are responsible for the content of the articles they submit because they all sign the MAGNIFIC Publication Ethics Statement Form / Letter of Originality. If the article is classified as plagiarized, then all authors will be subject to the same action.

 

If the author is proven to have submitted a manuscript to MAGNIFIC by simultaneously sending it to another journal, and this overlap is found during the reviewer process or after publication, then action will be taken according to point 2 above.

 

If plagiarism is found outside the rules above, the editor of MAGNIFIC has the right to impose sanctions according to the editorial team's policy.
