International Journal of Modern Science and Technology Research (IJMSTR) maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism and unethical research practices.

All manuscripts submitted to the journal are checked for plagiarism using plagiarism detection tools and editorial evaluation. The journal expects authors to submit only original work that has not been copied from other sources without proper citation.

Plagiarism includes copying text, ideas, images, or data from other sources without appropriate acknowledgment. It may also include self-plagiarism, where authors reuse significant portions of their previously published work without proper citation.

If a manuscript is found to contain a high level of plagiarism during the initial screening or peer review process, it will be rejected immediately. In serious cases, the journal may inform the author’s institution or take additional actions according to publication ethics guidelines.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources used in their research are properly cited and referenced. Proper academic citation practices must be followed in all submitted manuscripts.

The journal also reserves the right to retract or remove published articles if plagiarism or unethical practices are discovered after publication.
