Anti-Plagiarism Policy

Every author making a submission to Kocaeli Journal of Science and Engineering (KOJOSE) is supposed to have accepted the following principles:

- If a submitted manuscript is found appropriate for the KOJOSE by the Editorial Office, it is then scanned by the similarity (plagiarism) software comparing it with previously published material and web content. As a result of this process, the similarity ratio of the manuscript excluding the References section is determined.

- The similarity ratio of the submitted manuscript should be less than or equal to 15%. Furthermore, the similarity between the submitted manuscript and any previous specific publication should be equal or less than 3%. If these two conditions are met, the evaluation process of the paper is initiated.

- If the similarity ratio of the submitted manuscript is more than 15%, the author will be asked to revise the manuscript within 20 days. If the revised manuscript has a similarity ratio of equal or less than 15%, it will be taken into the evaluation process. Otherwise, it will be rejected.
