Plagiarism Policy

The Cosmic Journal of Social Sciences (CJSS) has a strict plagiarism policy. Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's work without giving them credit. It can take many forms, including copying text from another source without quotation marks or attribution, paraphrasing someone else's work without properly citing the source, and using someone else's ideas without giving them credit.

CJSS considers plagiarism to be a serious academic offense. Any article that is found to be plagiarized will be rejected without review. In addition, authors who plagiarize may be subject to further disciplinary action, such as suspension or expulsion from the journal.

CJSS uses a variety of plagiarism detection tools to screen submitted articles for plagiarism. If an article is suspected of plagiarism, the journal will investigate the matter further. If plagiarism is confirmed, the journal will take appropriate action, which may include rejecting the article, retracting the article if it has already been published, and/or reporting the author to their institution.

CJSS authors are responsible for ensuring that their work is original and that they have properly cited all sources. Authors should use quotation marks and attribution whenever they are quoting from another source. Authors should also cite all sources of ideas, even if they are not directly quoting from those sources.

If you are unsure whether or not your work is plagiarized, you can use a plagiarism checker tool to help you. There are many plagiarism checker tools available online, both free and paid.

CJSS encourages authors to familiarize themselves with the journal's plagiarism policy before submitting their work. Authors should also carefully review their work for any potential plagiarism before submitting it to the journal.

Here are some tips to help you avoid plagiarism:

• Always cite your sources, even if you are paraphrasing or summarizing someone else's work.
• Use quotation marks whenever you are quoting directly from another source.
• Be careful not to paraphrase someone else's work too closely. If you are unsure whether or not your paraphrase is original, try rewriting it in your own words.
• If you are unsure whether or not something is considered common knowledge, err on the side of caution and cite your source.
• Use a plagiarism checker tool to help you identify any potential plagiarism in your work.

By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your work is original and that you are giving credit to the people who have contributed to your thinking.
