Passion Scientific Peer-Reviewed Journal for Humanities Studies is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and strictly rejects all forms of plagiarism and unethical publication practices.

Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism refers to the use of others’ ideas, texts, data, or results, wholly or partially, without proper citation. This includes:

• Verbatim copying without acknowledgment
• Paraphrasing without proper referencing
• Self-plagiarism (reusing one’s own previously published work without appropriate citation)

Similarity Screening

• All submitted manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection tools prior to the peer review process.
• Similarity reports are evaluated according to recognized academic standards, taking into account acceptable exclusions such as references and commonly used terminology.

Handling Plagiarism Cases

• Manuscripts found to contain unacceptable levels of similarity prior to peer review may be rejected or returned to the author for correction at the discretion of the Editorial Board.
• If plagiarism is detected during the peer review process, the manuscript’s evaluation will be suspended and appropriate action will be taken.
• If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal reserves the right to retract the article and issue an official notice.

Author Responsibility

Authors bear full responsibility for the originality of their submitted work. Submission of a manuscript to the journal constitutes an implicit declaration of its originality and compliance with publication ethics.
