Sentriva Publishers maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, image manipulation, and other forms of research misconduct. Every submitted manuscript is screened using plagiarism detection software before peer review.
Every submitted manuscript is screened using trusted plagiarism detection software to identify text overlap and ensure research originality.
Plagiarism occurs when an author presents work, data, thoughts, or wording from another source as their own without clear acknowledgment or appropriate citation. Sentriva applies strict plagiarism detection software to catch all variations of textual copying, including:
Every submitted manuscript undergoes plagiarism screening using recognized similarity detection software before editorial review.
| Similarity Index Score | Editorial Action |
|---|---|
| Below 15% | Cleared: Acceptable similarity level. The manuscript passes directly into the initial editorial screening. |
| 15% – 25% | Review Required: The manuscript is held for manual editor evaluation to check for high text similarity or citation gaps. It may be returned to authors for revisions. |
| Exceeding 25% | Desk Rejection: Instantly triggered rejection. Manuscripts with excessive matching text are may be rejected or returned to the authors for major revision, depending on the nature of the overlap. |
If significant plagiarism or data manipulation matches are discovered during any active tier of peer evaluation, the editorial review process may be suspended while the matter is investigated. Editorial boards follow standard guidelines to handle these cases systematically.
For published articles where plagiarism is confirmed after distribution, Sentriva will issue a formal, permanent Retraction Notice linked to the original published article and DOI to preserve historical accuracy.
