Screening For Plagiarism

Every manuscript that submitted into Journal Equitable is going to be scanned using turnitin (similarity check)

1. Similarity Index above 50% --> Article Rejected (due to poor citation and/or poor paraphrasing, article outright rejected, NO RESUBMISSION accepted) 

2. Similarity Index (20-40%) --> Send to the author for improvement [provide correct citations to all places of similarity and do good paraphrasing even if the citation is provided] 

3. Similarity index Less than 20% --> Accepted or citation improvement may be required. [proper citations must be provided  to all outsourced texts]

In case 2 and 3: Authors should revise the article carefully, add required citations, and do good paraphrasing to outsourced text. And resubmit the article with new Turnitin report showing NO PLAGIARISM and similarity below 20%
