PLAGIARISME
CAUSALITY: Journal National Public Issues editorial board is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity. In recognizing the unequivocal unacceptability of plagiarism, we have instituted a comprehensive policy outlining specific actions (penalties) to be taken upon the identification of plagiarism or similarities in articles submitted for publication in CAUSALITY: Journal National Public Issues. To facilitate this, our journal employs Turnitin's originality-checking software, ensuring a thorough examination of article manuscripts and the final versions prepared for publication. A maximum similarity threshold of 25% is established for submitted papers. If the similarity index surpasses 25%, the article will be promptly returned to the author for necessary corrections and resubmission.
