Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism is a serious problem and the most common ethical issue afflicting medical writing. The SUCILPA: Journal of Arts and Culture does not allow any form of plagiarism. In accordance with our journal policy, submitted manuscripts are screened with plagiarism software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text (Turnitin or iThenticate and others) at least two times (during the evaluation process and after acceptance). High similarity scores may lead to rejection of a manuscript before and even after acceptance. Depending on the type of article and the percentage of similarity score taken from each article, the overall similarity score is generally expected to be less than 25%.
