Plagiarism
At ESSENCE are very conscious about preventing plagiarism. In our experience plagiarism is not always intentional and is mostly due to lack of knowledge and awareness.
We give a fair chance to authors to correct and amend their work if significant similarity indexed is observed. We use state of the art plagiarism tools to check every section of the manuscript. If the similarity is index is more than 15% we ask the authors to revise the manuscript.
We have a plagiarism redressal process where we welcome any violations to be reported to us. If a case of plagiarism comes to knowledge after a paper is published in the journal, we conduct proper investigation as per the COPE guidelines.
