Plagiarism Policy

Seraung: International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities strictly prohibits plagiarism. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere. All manuscripts are checked with Turnitin (maximum similarity 20%). Plagiarism is categorized as minor (small section copied without citation, authors must revise), intermediate (large section without proper citation, paper rejected and authors banned for one year), and severe (copying ideas or results, paper rejected and authors banned for five years). Repeat or serious cases may lead to a permanent ban. Self-plagiarism is also not allowed; use of previously published material must be clearly cited and, when necessary, with permission. All authors share full responsibility for the content of their work and agree to this policy when submitting to Seraung: International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities.
