Plagiarism Policy

The International Journal of Tourism Trends (IJTT) upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and publication ethics. All manuscripts submitted to IJTT are subject to strict plagiarism screening prior to the peer-review process.

• Screening Process: The journal uses plagiarism detection software to check the originality of each submission.

• Acceptable Similarity Index: A similarity index of no more than 20% is allowed, excluding references, quotations, and common phrases. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold will be returned to authors for revision or rejected outright.

• Forms of Plagiarism: This includes verbatim copying, mosaic plagiarism, self-plagiarism (duplicate publication), and inappropriate paraphrasing without proper citation.

• Consequences: If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article will be retracted, and appropriate notification will be issued. Authors may also be blacklisted from future submissions.

IJTT is committed to promoting originality and ensuring that published works contribute genuinely to the advancement of tourism research.
