Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism Policy

Manuscripts submitted to AAMAR must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere. Plagiarism in any form, including self-plagiarism and duplicate publication, is not tolerated.

All manuscripts are checked with Turnitin before review and again before publication. The maximum similarity index is 30% (excluding references), and the similarity with any single source must not exceed 4%. Manuscripts that exceed these limits are returned to the authors for revision. Manuscripts with clear evidence of plagiarism are rejected.

If plagiarism is found after publication, the article will be retracted according to the COPE guidelines.
