Plagiarism Policy
P-Edu International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies (P-EIJMS) adheres to internationally accepted standards of publication ethics and academic integrity. Authors are required to submit original manuscripts and must appropriately acknowledge all sources, including text, data, figures, tables, and ideas derived from previously published work. Plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, and inappropriate reuse of one’s own published work without proper citation are considered unethical publishing practices.
All manuscripts submitted to P-EIJMS undergo similarity screening using recognized plagiarism detection tools as part of the editorial assessment process. Minor similarity arising from references, commonly used methodological descriptions, or properly cited material may be acceptable. Manuscripts exhibiting significant or unethical similarity may be returned to authors for revision or rejected at the editorial level.
Self-plagiarism is permitted only when earlier work is clearly cited and appropriately contextualized. The Editorial Board evaluates each case individually and takes decisions in accordance with accepted international publishing standards and best practices.
P-EIJMS follows the principles and recommendations of globally recognized publication ethics frameworks. The journal reserves the right to take appropriate editorial action, including revision requests, rejection, or post-publication correction, where necessary.
