Anti-Plagiarism Policy

The editors will take reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of papers where research misconduct has occurred, including plagiarism, citation manipulation, and data falsification/fabrication, among others. In no case shall APJED or its editors encourage such misconduct, or knowingly allow such misconduct to take place. The Editorial Board of APJED undertakes to publish all corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies as soon as possible if and when they are required.

Authors are required to ensure that the submission has not been previously published, that permission has been obtained for the use of copyrighted material and that they do not infringe on the rights of third parties. Authors are encouraged to check for plagiarism using plagiarism checker software.
