Colloquys Journals maintains a zero-tolerance stance on plagiarism, which constitutes the misappropriation of intellectual property
Academic integrity is the cornerstone of credible research. Plagiarism, in any form, undermines the trust and reliability essential to scientific advancement. Colloquys is committed to upholding the highest standards of originality and ethical scholarship in all published works.
The direct copying of text, whether a sentence or a paragraph, without the use of quotation marks and an appropriate citation.
Rephrasing another author's ideas or text without significant alteration to the core structure and terminology, even if a citation is provided. Scholarly writing requires synthesis and original expression.
The reuse of significant portions of one's own previously published work without transparent acknowledgment. This misleads readers and publishers about the novelty of the work and can infringe upon copyright.
Using figures, tables, datasets, or images from another source without explicit permission and clear attribution. For one's own previously published visual elements, permission must be sought from the copyright holder.
Publishing a paper that substantially overlaps with one already published elsewhere, without cross-referencing. This distorts the scientific record by presenting a single study as multiple, discrete contributions.
All submissions are screened using text-similarity detection software. The editorial response is calibrated to the severity of the infraction:
Incidental overlap, such as common terminology or short, generic phrases may result in a request for revision and improved citation practices.
Manuscripts demonstrating significant, unattributed textual copying will be rejected immediately. The authors may be barred from submitting to the journal for a period of up to 36 months.
In cases of extensive, deliberate plagiarism, data theft, or copyright infringement, the journal will impose stringent sanctions. This includes:
Colloquys is dedicated to preserving the integrity of scholarly literature. We employ robust plagiarism detection tools and adhere to international publishing ethics standards to ensure that all published research represents genuine contributions to scientific knowledge.
Authors are expected to familiarize themselves with proper citation practices and to ensure that all submitted work is original and properly attributed.
