Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism involves using another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work. This includes:

• Copying text word-for-word from another source without proper quotation and attribution.
• Paraphrasing the ideas of others without citing the original source.
• Using images, data, or tables produced by someone else without permission and acknowledgment.
• Self-Plagiarism: Re-using significant, identical, or nearly identical portions of your own previously published work without acknowledging that you are doing so.

Action Against Plagiarism

If plagiarism is detected during the peer review process, the manuscript will be rejected immediately. If plagiarism is discovered after publication, IJCRCST reserves the right to issue a formal retraction of the paper, remove it from the digital archives, and notify the authors' affiliated institutions.
