Plagiarism Policy

The Global Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (GJMPS) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical publishing. The journal strictly prohibits plagiarism in any form and expects authors to submit only original and unpublished work.

Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism refers to the use of another person’s ideas, words, data, or work without proper acknowledgment or permission. This includes:

Direct copying of text without proper citation

Paraphrasing substantial portions of another work without attribution

Using figures, tables, or images without permission or citation

Self-plagiarism or duplicate publication of previously published work

Plagiarism Screening

All manuscripts submitted to the journal are screened using standard plagiarism detection software before the peer review process begins.

Manuscripts that show unacceptable levels of textual similarity may be rejected or returned to the authors for revision.

Acceptable Similarity Limits

The journal generally expects manuscripts to maintain a similarity index within acceptable academic limits. Minor similarities related to references, methodology descriptions, or commonly used phrases may be considered acceptable.

However, substantial copying of text or ideas without proper citation will not be tolerated.

Action in Cases of Plagiarism

If plagiarism is detected at any stage of the publication process, the journal may take appropriate actions, including:

Immediate rejection of the manuscript

Request for revision and proper citation

Notification to the authors’ institutions if serious misconduct is identified

Retraction of the published article if plagiarism is discovered after publication

Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their work is original and properly cited. All sources of information must be appropriately acknowledged in accordance with standard academic citation practices.

Ethical Compliance

The journal follows internationally recognized ethical guidelines for handling plagiarism and research misconduct as recommended by COPE and ICMJE.
