turnitin tool

1. Introduction The Peer-Reviewed Journal CIE. Knowledge, Research and Education promotes originality and academic ethics in its publications. To ensure high-quality standards, the Turnitin tool is used to detect similarities in manuscripts. It is important for authors to understand this procedure and work to meet the established requirements.

2. Purpose of the Similarity Check The main goal of using Turnitin is to ensure that manuscripts are original and do not exhibit inappropriate levels of similarity to other sources. The accepted similarity threshold is 17% or less, which ensures the authenticity and originality of each submission.

3. Recommendations for Authors

  • Pre-submission Review: Before submitting their article, authors should carefully review it to ensure proper citation and referencing in order to avoid unintentional matches.
  • Similarity Awareness: Authors should be aware that similarity may arise from direct quotes, paraphrasing, or overlap with previous works. Proper source attribution is crucial.
  • Use of Text Review Tools: Authors are encouraged to use similarity review tools available in word processors for a preliminary check before submission.
  • Percentage Consideration: Authors should ensure that the similarity percentage does not exceed 17%. If the preliminary report indicates a higher percentage, the highlighted sections must be revised and improved accordingly.

4. Editorial Review During the editorial process, the team will review Turnitin reports. Manuscripts exceeding the 17% threshold will undergo further analysis to assess the nature of the matches.

5. Collaboration for Excellence Active participation by authors in monitoring similarity is essential for maintaining the academic integrity of the journal. By following these recommendations, the originality and value of each manuscript are enhanced.

The Journal appreciates authors' cooperation in this process. For any additional inquiries regarding the similarity check, please contact the editorial team.

Note: A similarity percentage higher than 17% does not automatically result in manuscript rejection, but authors must justify and revise any additional overlaps. Turnitin is a tool designed to support academic integrity and prevent plagiarism; it should not be interpreted as a measure of the manuscript's quality.
