PoliEcoM Administration Review is committed to academic integrity, originality, responsible citation practice, and the protection of the scholarly record. The journal does not tolerate plagiarism, duplicate submission, inappropriate text recycling, data misrepresentation, or any other form of academic misconduct.

All manuscripts submitted to the journal must be original, properly referenced, and not under consideration by another journal or publication venue. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources, ideas, data, figures, tables, quotations, and previously published materials are accurately cited and appropriately acknowledged.

1. Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism occurs when an author uses another person’s words, ideas, data, arguments, structure, images, tables, figures, or research findings without proper acknowledgment. Plagiarism may occur whether the copied material is published or unpublished, printed or electronic, publicly available or restricted.

2. Self-Plagiarism and Text Recycling

Authors must not reuse substantial portions of their own previously published work without proper citation, explanation, and editorial justification. Reuse of previously published text, data, tables, figures, or analysis may constitute self-plagiarism or inappropriate text recycling if it creates a misleading impression of originality.

• Previously published work by the same author must be cited where relevant.
• Substantial overlap with the author’s prior publications must be disclosed at submission.
• Reanalysis or extension of prior work should clearly explain what is new in the submitted manuscript.
• Duplicate publication or fragmented publication of the same study is not permitted.

3. Duplicate Submission and Duplicate Publication

Manuscripts submitted to PoliEcoM Administration Review must not be under review by another journal, publisher, conference proceeding, edited volume, or online publication venue at the same time. Authors must not submit substantially similar manuscripts to multiple venues simultaneously.

Duplicate publication occurs when the same or substantially similar work is published more than once without proper citation, permission, or editorial justification. Such cases may result in rejection, withdrawal, correction, retraction, or notification to relevant institutions or publishers.

4. Similarity Screening

The Editorial Office may screen submitted manuscripts for textual similarity before, during, or after peer review. Similarity reports are used as an editorial tool and are interpreted carefully by editors. A similarity percentage alone does not determine whether plagiarism has occurred; the context, source, nature, and extent of overlap are considered.

5. Author Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality and integrity of their submissions. Before submission, authors should carefully check the manuscript for proper citation, quotation, paraphrasing, attribution, and disclosure of related work.

• All borrowed text must be properly quoted or paraphrased and cited.
• All sources of ideas, data, methods, figures, tables, and arguments must be acknowledged.
• Authors must disclose related manuscripts, preprints, working papers, or prior publications where relevant.
• Authors must obtain permission for copyrighted materials where required.
• Authors must ensure that the manuscript does not misrepresent originality or contribution.

6. Use of Preprints, Working Papers, and Theses

The journal may consider manuscripts that have previously appeared as preprints, working papers, institutional reports, or theses, provided that this is disclosed at submission and the submitted manuscript complies with the journal’s originality and copyright requirements. Authors must clearly identify any prior version of the work and explain how the submitted manuscript differs from or develops the earlier version.

7. Citation and Quotation Standards

The journal follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition, Author-Date format. Authors should provide accurate in-text citations and a complete reference list. Direct quotations must be clearly identified with quotation marks or block quotation formatting, together with appropriate citation and page numbers where applicable.

8. Editorial Actions before Publication

If possible plagiarism or inappropriate overlap is identified before publication, the Editorial Office may take one or more actions depending on the seriousness of the case.

• Request clarification or explanation from the author.
• Ask the author to correct citations, quotation marks, references, or attribution.
• Return the manuscript for rewriting before peer review.
• Reject the manuscript when overlap is substantial, misleading, or unethical.
• Notify relevant institutions, publishers, or editors in serious cases of suspected misconduct.

9. Editorial Actions after Publication

If plagiarism, duplicate publication, or serious unattributed overlap is discovered after publication, the Editorial Office will investigate the matter and determine the appropriate correction to the scholarly record.

10. Reviewer and Editor Responsibilities

Reviewers and editors should notify the Editorial Office if they identify suspected plagiarism, duplicate publication, citation manipulation, inappropriate text recycling, or unattributed use of materials during review. Reviewers should not conduct unauthorized independent investigations or contact authors directly.

• Reviewers should report suspected overlap or unattributed material to the Editorial Office.
• Editors should evaluate similarity concerns fairly and consistently.
• Editors should protect confidentiality during any investigation.
• Editorial decisions should be based on evidence, policy, and academic integrity standards.

11. Artificial Intelligence and Originality

Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, citation integrity, and ethical compliance of all submitted content, including any content prepared with the assistance of digital or artificial intelligence tools. AI tools must not be listed as authors. Any use of AI-assisted tools must not result in plagiarism, fabricated citations, unattributed copying, false claims, or misrepresentation of authorship.

12. Appeals and Author Responses

Authors may respond to plagiarism or similarity concerns by providing a written explanation, relevant documentation, corrected citations, source materials, or evidence of originality. Appeals must be factual, respectful, and supported by evidence. The Editorial Office will review author responses and determine whether further editorial action is required.

13. Final Editorial Authority

The Editorial Office, Editor-in-Chief, or authorized editorial representative has final authority to determine whether plagiarism, inappropriate overlap, duplicate submission, or unethical text recycling has occurred. Decisions are based on the evidence available, journal policy, publication ethics standards, and the need to protect the integrity of the scholarly record.
