PLAGIARISME

The Journal of Communication Research (JCR) upholds a strict policy against plagiarism. All manuscripts submitted must be original works and should not have been published elsewhere or under consideration for publication in any other journal.

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

• Direct copying or paraphrasing of text, ideas, or data from other sources without proper citation.
• Failure to appropriately credit the work of others, including visual or auditory materials, theories, or research findings.
• Self-plagiarism, where authors reuse substantial portions of their own previous work without acknowledgment.

Authors are expected to properly cite all sources and give due credit to prior research that has influenced their work. Failure to do so may result in the rejection of the manuscript and other academic consequences.

To ensure the originality of submissions, the JCR uses Turnitin as part of its plagiarism detection process. Authors are encouraged to check their manuscripts for plagiarism themselves using Turnitin or similar tools before submitting. Submissions with significant similarities to existing works may be returned for revision or rejected.

By submitting a manuscript, authors affirm that their work is free from plagiarism and complies with the journal's academic integrity standards.
