Plagiarism Policy

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.

Settings used for "Filters and Settings" on the Turnitin website:
Exclude quotes: On
Exclude bibliography: On
Exclude matches: Don't exclude by size

 

AI Policy

DIGLOSIA limits the submission of manuscripts that are written using generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. Authors are permitted to use AI-assisted tools only for a maximum of 20% of the manuscript content, as detected by Turnitin AI Detection or other equivalent tools approved by the editorial board.

Manuscripts found to exceed the 20% AI-generated content threshold will be rejected during the pre-evaluation stage. Authors are fully responsible for ensuring the authenticity and originality of their work. The use of AI must be limited to language enhancement or technical editing only, and not for generating substantive content, data analysis, arguments, or entire sections of the manuscript.

This policy aligns with the journal’s commitment to academic integrity, originality, and responsible authorship. Violations may lead to rejection or retraction, depending on the severity of the breach.
