Similarity Check Policy

Edeb Erkan journal scans all submitted articles to prevent plagiarism. Studies submitted for review are checked for plagiarism using iThenticate 2.0 software. The similarity rate is expected to be less than 10%. The main measure of similarity is the author's compliance with the rules of citation and citation. If the similarity rate is 1%, but citation and quotation are not done properly, plagiarism may still be in question. In this respect, citation and quotation rules should be known and carefully applied by the author: APA7

Plagiarism, duplication, false authorship, research/data fabrication, article slicing, sliced publication, copyright infringement and concealment of conflict of interest are considered unethical behaviours. All articles that do not comply with accepted ethical standards are removed from publication. This includes articles containing possible irregularities and non-conformities detected after publication.

Edeb Erkan uses the Similarity Check service provided by Crossref and powered by iThenticate for similarity checking:
