Plagiarism Policy

Psycho Holistic enforces plagiarism rules for incoming articles. Every incoming article must undergo a similarity check before proceeding to the selection and review process. For the similarity check process, we use Plagiarism Checker X with WML 3 . If the similarity index up to 20% or more, the author should rewrite the entire manuscript. The editor has the right to reject and replace the manuscript if the author does not abide with the regulation within a given time limit (a month) after the manuscript has been returned for revising.

Psycho Holistic will immediately investigate and reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism. Psycho Holistic investigation on suspected plagiarism will be based on COPE's guidance:

  • Suspected plagiarism in a submitted manuscript here
