Plagiarism Policy

All manuscripts submitted to MNJ will be screened for plagiarism and duplicate publication using Turnitin. The journal maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism.

Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Any material reproduced verbatim from other sources must be clearly distinguished from the author’s original text by using indentation, quotation marks, and proper source citation. In addition, authors are required to submit an author statement as a supplementary file.

All manuscripts will also be evaluated for their similarity index against previously published works. Manuscripts that exceed the journal’s acceptable similarity threshold may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected without proceeding to peer review.
