Plagiarism Control

Plagiarism involves duplicating an author's work, in whole or in part, without proper citation or misrepresenting others' ideas, words, and other creative expressions as one's own. The magazine follows a strict anti-plagiarism policy. All manuscripts submitted to Nanar at Hilla University College are subject to a plagiarism check using commercially available software. Depending on the extent of the plagiarism, authors may be asked to address any minor duplication, or similarity to previously published work. If plagiarism is detected after publication, the journal will investigate. If plagiarism is proven, the journal will notify the authors' institution and funding bodies and will withdraw the plagiarized article. To report plagiarism, contact the journal office (email: nanar_journal@hilla-unc.edu.iq).

Violation of publishing ethics

  1. Plagiarism: If a person intentionally uses another person’s ideas or other original materials as if they were his own ideas, even if a sentence was used by the same researcher who published it in other journals without a proper citation, Nanar Magazine considers it plagiarism. All research under review or published in Nanar Magazine is subject to To check using plagiarism prevention software and therefore plagiarism is a serious violation of publishing ethics, Crosscheck is a service that helps editors verify the originality of papers.

  2. Fabricating and falsifying data: Fabricating and falsifying data means that the researcher did not actually carry out the study, but rather created data or results and recorded or fabricated fabricated information. Falsifying data means that the researcher carried out the experiment but manipulated, changed, or deleted data or results from the research results.
  3. Simultaneous submission: Simultaneous submission occurs when a manuscript (or large sections of a manuscript) is submitted to a journal when it is already under consideration by another journal.
  4. Duplicate publication: Duplicate publication occurs when two or more papers without full reference share essentially the same hypotheses, data, discussion points, and conclusions.
  5. Redundant publications: Duplicate publications include inappropriate division of study results into several articles and are often the result of the desire to inflate academic history.
  6. Inappropriate author contribution or attribution: All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research. Do not forget to include anyone who has made a significant scientific contribution, including students.
  7. Citation manipulation: Citation manipulation includes excessive citations in the submitted research that do not contribute to the scientific content of the article and that are included solely for the purpose of increasing citations from the work of a particular author or in articles published specifically for the journal. This leads to misrepresenting the importance of the work and the specific journal in which it appears. Therefore, it is a form of scientific misconduct.
  8. Penalties: In the event of documented violations of any of the above-mentioned policies in any magazine, regardless of whether the violations occurred in a magazine or not, the following penalties will be applied:
  • Immediate rejection of the violating research.
  • Immediate rejection of every other research submitted to any journal published by any of the authors of the offending research.
  • A ban is imposed for a period of not less than 36 months on all authors of any new submissions to any journal, either individually or jointly with other authors of infringing research.
