Plagiarism Policy

Unique Endeavor in Business & Social Sciences (UEBSS) is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. The journal maintains a strict Plagiarism Policy to ensure that all published work represents authentic scholarly contributions and respects the intellectual property rights of authors, researchers, and institutions. UEBSS considers plagiarism—whether in the form of verbatim copying, paraphrasing without proper attribution, self-plagiarism, or misappropriation of ideas—as a serious ethical violation, and it takes proactive measures to prevent and address such misconduct.

All manuscripts submitted to UEBSS are subjected to rigorous plagiarism screening using reliable and up-to-date detection software. The journal expects authors to provide original research that has not been published elsewhere and is not under consideration by another journal simultaneously. Proper citation and acknowledgment of all sources, including ideas, text, data, and images, are mandatory. Authors are also responsible for ensuring that permissions have been obtained for any copyrighted or third-party material used in their manuscripts.

In cases where plagiarism is suspected, the editorial team conducts a thorough investigation. Minor instances of unintentional similarity may be addressed by requiring corrections or revisions before publication. However, significant or deliberate plagiarism—including substantial copying of text, data fabrication, or presenting someone else’s work as one’s own—will result in immediate rejection of the manuscript. Authors involved in serious cases may also be barred from future submissions and reported to their affiliated institutions or relevant professional bodies.

UEBSS recognizes that academic integrity extends beyond authorship. Reviewers and editors are expected to respect confidentiality and ensure that manuscripts are evaluated fairly without misappropriating ideas or data. Any violation of ethical standards by reviewers or editors is treated with equal seriousness and may result in sanctions or corrective actions.

By adhering to this Plagiarism Policy, Unique Endeavor in Business & Social Sciences strives to preserve the credibility, reliability, and scholarly value of its publications. Authors, reviewers, and readers are assured that the journal promotes an environment of ethical scholarship, transparency, and accountability, thereby fostering trust and excellence in academic research.
