Plagiarism Policy

The International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities (IJSSH) maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism in academic publishing. Plagiarism in any form, including uncredited translations, copying text without quotation marks, or passing off another's ideas as one's own, constitutes a serious violation of publication ethics.

• Similarity Check: Every submitted manuscript will undergo a rigorous similarity and originality check using Turnitin before being processed for peer review.

• Threshold: The maximum acceptable similarity index is 20% (excluding the bibliography/references).

• Consequences: Manuscripts exceeding this threshold will be immediately returned to the authors for revision or face direct Desk Rejection, depending on the severity of the copied content.
