Plagiarism Policy

VALUE: Journal of Business Studies is committed to upholding research integrity and publication ethics. Authors must ensure that every submitted manuscript is original, properly cited, and free from plagiarism, duplication, fabrication, falsification, or other forms of academic misconduct.

All submitted manuscripts are screened using plagiarism-detection software such as Turnitin or similar tools. Manuscripts with a similarity index of more than 25% may be returned to the authors, rejected, or subject to further editorial evaluation depending on the nature of the overlap.

Any proven case of plagiarism or other serious ethical misconduct may result in rejection of the manuscript, retraction of the published article, and other appropriate editorial actions.
