Plagiarism Policy
World Accounting Research in Management, Trade, and Humanities (WARMTH) maintains a strict anti-plagiarism policy.
All submitted manuscripts are screened using internationally recognized plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin and/or iThenticate before entering the peer-review process.
The maximum acceptable similarity index is 20% (excluding references, quotations, and properly cited materials).
Manuscripts exceeding the similarity threshold may be:
- Returned to authors for revision;
- Subjected to further editorial evaluation; or
- Rejected if substantial plagiarism or unethical publication practices are identified.
The journal does not tolerate plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated data, or falsified research findings. Any misconduct discovered after publication may result in article correction, retraction, and notification to the authors' affiliated institutions, in accordance with COPE recommendations.
