JOCW, as a scientific publication, aims to ensure that all authors exercise diligence and adhere to worldwide norms of academic integrity, notably regarding plagiarism.
Plagiarism transpires when an author appropriates ideas, information, or language from another source without appropriate attribution. Plagiarism, regardless of intent, constitutes a grave academic infraction and is deemed undesirable in international scholarly publications.
When the author acquires particular information (such as a name, date, location, statistical figure, or other detailed data) from a specified source, a reference is necessary.
A reference is necessary when an author appropriates an idea from another author, regardless of subsequent elaboration on that notion. This may provide a way for data interpretation, including potential methodologies or conclusions to derive. It may pertain to overarching advancements in a discipline or general knowledge. Authors must cite their sources, irrespective of the concept. When an author elaborates on an idea, it remains essential to reference the original source, followed by an explanation of the author's expanded concept in the subsequent phrase.
When an author utilizes the words of another author, citation and quote marks are mandatory. When four or more consecutive words replicate a source that the author has consulted, the author must include quotation marks to indicate the usage of another author's original text; just citation is insufficient.
The author is fundamentally responsible for submitting a document devoid of plagiarism and academic misconduct. The editor meticulously verifies each piece prior to publishing, utilizing the plagiarism detection tool Turnitin.
JOCW prioritizes academic integrity, and the editors retain the authority to rescind acceptance of any work that contravenes the aforementioned principles. For any inquiries, prospective authors may reach the editorial office at editorjocw@ittc.edu.bd
