Manuscripts submitted to Journal of Law, Ethics, and Multidisciplinary Research (JLEMR) are screened for plagiarism using Turnitin/iThenticate plagiarism detection tools. JLEMR will immediately reject manuscripts found to contain plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Before entering the peer-review stage, each manuscript is checked by the editorial team for similarity. The acceptable similarity threshold for submissions to JLEMR is less than 25%.

Plagiarism is defined as presenting another person’s ideas, words, or works as one’s own without proper citation or acknowledgment. Examples include:

• Verbatim Copying: Direct reproduction of another author’s work, in whole or in part, without citation or permission.
• Substantial Copying: Reproducing significant portions of another work without proper citation. "Substantial" may refer to both the amount copied and the importance of the content.
• Improper Paraphrasing: Restating ideas from a source in a modified form without proper acknowledgment of the original work.
