Plagiarism Policy

In accordance with the standards established by the Georgica, all forms of plagiarism are considered significant breaches of academic ethics and are deemed unacceptable.

Authors bear the responsibility for providing rigorous and accurate citations for all sources mentioned in their manuscript.  Review Process Subsequent to a preliminary technical compliance review, submitted manuscripts are screened using the TSU-affiliated digital platform, Turnitin, which generates an immediate similarity report. It must be acknowledged that Turnitin's database primarily indexes publicly accessible web-based content; therefore, this screening alone is insufficient for the comprehensive identification of other plagiarism forms (e.g., inadequate paraphrase, self-plagiarism, or mosaic plagiarism). Consequently, following the initial similarity analysis, the manuscript undergoes a confidential, double-blind peer-review process. In addition to evaluating the scholarly merit and academic rigor of the article, reviewers are tasked with scrutinising the work for any potential overlap or similarity, in any form in the field.

Any form of plagiarism be detected, the Editorial Board will adjudicate the matter in strict accordance with the established Plagiarism Policy of our Journal.
