Plagiarism Policy

 

Negotium Law Journal is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical publishing. All submitted manuscripts must be original works that have not been previously published and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Every manuscript submitted to the journal is screened using plagiarism detection software to assess the level of textual similarity. Negotium Law Journal requires that the overall similarity index does not exceed 20%, with no more than 5% similarity from a single source, excluding properly cited quotations, references, and standard methodological descriptions.

The journal does not tolerate any form of unethical publication practice, including:

  • direct plagiarism;
  • partial plagiarism;
  • self-plagiarism without proper disclosure;
  • duplicate or redundant publication;
  • salami publication.

In cases where plagiarism or unethical publication practices are suspected, the editorial team will conduct an initial assessment and seek clarification from the author(s). Depending on the severity of the violation, the journal reserves the right to reject the manuscript, request substantial revision, or retract the article if the violation is discovered after publication.

This policy is enforced to safeguard the quality, credibility, and academic reputation of Negotium Law Journal.
