Plagiarism Screening Policy

To preserve academic integrity and uphold international publishing ethics, the Journal of Contemporary Business and Economic Studies (JCBES) employs the DETECTIA plagiarism detection system, which is directly integrated into the Algerian Scientific Journals Platform (ASJP).

Guidelines for Reviewers and Editors Regarding DETECTIA Reports:

All submitted manuscripts undergo automated similarity screening via DETECTIA. Reviewers and editors are guided by the following principles in evaluating similarity reports:

1 Automated Pre-Screening

Prior to being assigned to reviewers, every submitted manuscript undergoes an automated similarity check via the DETECTIA system upon submission to the ASJP platform.

2 Similarity Index Evaluation

Reviewers are provided with access to the generated similarity report (or key similarity parameters) alongside the double-blind manuscript during the evaluation process.

3 Qualitative Verification

Reviewers are kindly requested to evaluate the similarity report qualitatively, distinguishing between permissible similarities (such as standard methodologies, proper citations, and common technical terminology) and potential scientific misconduct (such as uncredited text copying, data duplication, or self-plagiarism).

4 Reporting Concerns

If a reviewer identifies critical overlap or unacknowledged sources during the evaluation process, they should explicitly highlight these concerns in their evaluation report or notify the Editorial Board through the ASJP portal for further action in accordance with COPE guidelines.
