Plagiarism Screening

DIGLOSIA strongly discourages plagiarism and autoplagiarism. All manuscripts must be free of plagiarised content. Therefore, we will use plagiarism detection software (Turnitin) to perform a similarity check on each manuscript submitted by the author. We will reject articles that are indicated to contain plagiarism. Each manuscript is checked twice using Turnitin at the time of initial submission and publication (final article).

  • Initial submission maximum 15%. If the initial manuscript indicates plagiarism of more than 15%, the manuscript will be rejected and returned to the author, and the manuscript will not be reviewed again.
  • Final article maximum 10%. The final article for publication will also be checked for similarity. Authors will be notified to correct the article if the similarity score is more than 10% before editing. Authors should correct the article so that the similarity score is no more than 10%. The editor will process the final article if the manuscript has a plagiarism score under 10%.

Notes: We do not tolerate authors who deliberately use sneaky ways to make the manuscript free of plagiarism. Manuscripts indicated will be automatically rejected, and we will not accept the corrected manuscript.
