Plagiarism Policy

Submitted Papers

The Afghan International Journal of Science is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and publishing only original and unpublished research conducted by the authors, as outlined in the author guidelines. To maintain these standards, all submissions undergo rigorous plagiarism checks using state-of-the-art software such as Turnitin/iThenticate. The journal strictly adheres to a maximum similarity index of 20%, ensuring that published works are free from undue duplication or plagiarism.

Accepted Papers

In the event that any article is found to contain plagiarized content after acceptance, the journal will not proceed with publication and will notify the corresponding author via email. The paper's status will be changed to "Rejected." If a minor portion of the article is identified as plagiarized, the authors will be requested to revise that specific section, and the article will be published after satisfactory revisions have been made by the author(s).

Responsibility

Author(s) bear full responsibility for any plagiarism issues, unlawful content, or defamatory statements present in their work. The Chief Editor, Executive Editor, or Editorial Board shall not be held responsible for plagiarism reports, complaints, or legal actions arising from such instances. The author(s) are solely accountable for ensuring the originality, legality, and integrity of their submitted papers.
