Plagiarism Policy

The Contemporary Public Administration Review (CoPAR) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and does not tolerate any form of unethical practices, including plagiarism and content duplication. Plagiarism occurs when significant parts of a manuscript are taken from other published works without proper citation or permission. All submitted manuscripts are carefully checked for plagiarism using Turnitin software. If plagiarism is found during the early editing stages, the manuscript will be immediately rejected and will not be considered for publication in the journal.

Therefore, it is very important for all authors who wish to submit articles to this journal to follow ethical guidelines carefully and avoid any form of plagiarism. Authors can prevent the rejection resulting from plagiarism by doing individual checks using Turnitin, ensuring that the similarity index does not exceed 25%.

In order to maintain academic integrity, we also use Turnitin’s AI Detection software to identify content generated by artificial intelligence. Authors are advised to check this as well and ensure that the AI detection score does not exceed 20%, as a higher score may affect the editorial decision.
