Plagiarm Check

INOVA: Journal of Innovation and Community Development is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and publication ethics. Authors are required to submit original manuscripts that have not been published previously and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. All sources, ideas, data, and statements derived from the work of others must be properly acknowledged through appropriate citation and referencing.

All submitted manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using reliable similarity detection software. In addition, the Editorial Team conducts an initial assessment to verify the accuracy of citations, references, and quotations. Any form of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, and data falsification, is considered unethical and unacceptable.

The journal applies a maximum similarity index threshold of 20%. Manuscripts exceeding this limit may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected at the discretion of the Editorial Board. The final decision regarding the originality and suitability of a manuscript for publication rests with the Editor-in-Chief, in accordance with internationally recognized standards of scholarly publishing.
