Anti-plagiarism Policy سرقہ سے بچیں

Arshad Masood Hashmi

Submitting someone else’s work as your own, claiming authorship of another person’s essay or project, copying someone’s words or ideas without proper citation, neglecting to use quotation marks for a direct quote, providing incorrect information about the source of a quote, and altering the words but maintaining the sentence structure of a source without citation are all forms of plagiarism. It is important to note that merely changing the words of an original source is not sufficient to avoid plagiarism. If the fundamental idea of the original source is retained and not properly cited, it still constitutes plagiarism, regardless of any alterations made to its context or presentation. However, plagiarism can be easily avoided by citing sources. Simply acknowledging that certain material has been borrowed and providing the necessary information for others to locate the source is usually enough to prevent plagiarism.

Respectable authors / contributors are requested to note that when an author submits a research paper or article for Urdu Studies it is understood that it is an original and unpublished work free from plagiarism, and that it is not being considered for publication by any other journal. However we randomly check contributions by research scholars for plagiarism. We encourage them to attach a anti plagiarism check report with their manuscripts. If a manuscript is found to be plagiarized, it will be rejected and the concerned author will be backlisted. Authors are requested to go through these guidelines.
