Plagiarism Screening

The Journal of Development and Management Sciences (JDMS) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and publication ethics. All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo plagiarism screening using reliable similarity detection software before the peer-review process.

Authors are required to submit original and unpublished work that has not been submitted simultaneously to another journal or publication platform. Manuscripts containing plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, inappropriate citation practices, or unacknowledged use of copyrighted materials, will be rejected immediately.

JDMS follows strict ethical guidelines to ensure the authenticity and credibility of published research. The editorial board reserves the right to request revisions, clarification, or supporting documentation when similarity concerns arise. In cases of confirmed academic misconduct, the journal may reject the manuscript, retract published articles, and notify the authors affiliated institutions if necessary.

By submitting a manuscript to JDMS, authors acknowledge and agree to comply with the journal’s plagiarism and publication ethics policies.
