Anti-Plagiarism Policy

International Journal of Progressive Human Advancement, Research, and Multidisciplinary Development in Applied Research & Technology (IJPHARMDART)

IJPHARMDART maintains the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical publishing. Any form of plagiarism is considered a serious violation of publication ethics and is strictly prohibited. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarized content may be rejected at any stage of the review or publication process.

Meaning of Plagiarism

Plagiarism refers to the use of another individual’s intellectual work, ideas, expressions, data, or creative output without appropriate acknowledgment, thereby presenting it as one’s own original contribution.

Forms of Plagiarism Include (but are not limited to):

• Copying text directly from websites, journals, books, or other sources without proper citation

• Submitting another person’s academic work (assignment, article, project, or thesis) under one’s own name

• Reproducing sentences, paragraphs, or concepts from published material without quotation or reference

• Using images, tables, figures, charts, diagrams, audio, or visual content without permission or citation

• Paraphrasing research findings or ideas without crediting the original source

• Purchasing or borrowing academic content and submitting it as original work

• Structuring content in the same sequence and framework as the source material without attribution

Author’s Responsibility and Declaration

By submitting a manuscript to IJPHARMDART, the author(s) confirm and agree that:

• They clearly understand that plagiarism is unethical and unacceptable in academic publishing

• The submitted work is original and has not been copied, duplicated, or misrepresented

• All sources of information, whether published or unpublished, have been properly cited and referenced

• Any contribution derived from the work of others has been duly acknowledged

• The author(s) bear full responsibility for any oversight, incomplete citation, or ethical violation

Anti-Plagiarism Declaration

The author(s) declare that they have carefully read and understood the plagiarism policy of IJPHARMDART. The submitted manuscript is the outcome of independent scholarly research. All references, quotations, and paraphrased materials have been clearly identified and cited. No material other than those appropriately acknowledged has been used. The manuscript has neither been published previously nor is it under consideration elsewhere.

Guidelines to Prevent Plagiarism

Authors are encouraged to follow these best practices:

• Familiarize yourself with proper citation and referencing standards relevant to your discipline

• Maintain accurate source details while taking notes during research

• Always verify and refer to original sources rather than secondary or copied web content

• Use plagiarism detection tools before submission to ensure originality

• When unsure about attribution, provide a citation—over-citation is preferable to under-citation

IJPHARMDART is committed to promoting ethical research practices and expects authors to uphold integrity, originality, and transparency in scholarly communication.
