Publication Ethics
Gyanodaya: The Journal of Progressive Education is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against publication malpractice. Authors who submit papers to Gyanodaya attest that their work is original and unpublished, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. In addition, authors should confirm that their paper and research work is their own; that it has not been copied or plagiarized, in whole or in part, from other works; and that they have disclosed actual or potential conflicts of interest with their work or partial benefits associated with it.
The key points of our Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statements are mentioned below which are primarily driven from code of conduct prepared by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), available at https://publicationethics.org/core-practices/ .
Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is to claim authorship of a document, a part of document, or some small sections of a document, which are not authored by claimant. It is a common practice among academicians to quote past works done in that area or quote work by others to support their arguments or thoughts in the document. However, to do so without properly acknowledging the source or original author both in text and references in proper and clear order constitutes plagiarism.
As per international intellectual laws, plagiarism is a serious offence.
Common Forms of Plagiarism
a) To use a phrase or sentence of some other author in your work without prior approval or acknowledgement
b) Copying word-to-word from the work of others
c) Paraphrasing the words very closely from someone else’s work
d) Using material downloaded from the Internet as it is or without quoting and acknowledging the source
e) Using borrowed statistics, figures, photographs, diagrams, pictures etc. from some other work without prior permission or written acknowledgement of the source
f) Picking up portions of your own previous work published elsewhere.
In simplest terms, it means, author of any publication has to differentiate very clearly what is his/her contribution and what is borrowed from elsewhere with proper acknowledgement of the borrowed contents both in texts and references as per international accepted standards of referencing while submitting a manuscript for publication consideration. We accept Harvard Style referencing. All manuscripts submitted to INMANTEC Publishing will be scanned through plagiarism detection software. We expect a manuscript to be totally free of plagiarism material. However, plagiarism not exceeding 15% will be accepted for consideration after going through the plagiarised contents and establishing its relevance to the essence of the submitted research work.
Plagiarism Acceptance/Rejection Criteria
| Extent of Plagiarism | Action |
| =15% | Research work is accepted for further action |
| =15% to ≤ 40% | Research work is returned for amendments |
| >40% | Research work is rejected summarily |
Author(s) of any submitted work will have to submit a signed undertaking available at institute website and with the respective editor clearly mentioning about the originality of the work, declaring in clear terms that the submitted research work hasn’t been copied from any other source and taking ownership of problem, if any, occurring in future due to their submitted research work.
Author(s) will be solely responsible for any complication arising out of any unethical practices adopted, if any and INMANTEC Publishing or the institute will in no way be responsible for any unethical practice on the part of the author(s).
