Plagiarism Policy

Lydia Business Review adheres to strict ethical principles in academic publishing and does not tolerate plagiarism under any circumstances.

  • Originality: All manuscripts submitted to the journal must be original and not previously published elsewhere.

  • Similarity Check: Articles must be scanned with intihal.net, a plagiarism detection software, before being accepted into the peer-review process. Those who are not intihal.net members can request this from the journal's management.

  • Similarity Threshold: The acceptable similarity rate is below 12%, excluding references. The Editorial Board reserves the right to evaluate borderline cases. The utilization rate from the same study should not exceed 2%.

  • Violations:

    • Manuscripts with a high similarity rate are rejected without peer review.

    • If plagiarism is detected during the review process or after publication, the article is immediately withdrawn, and relevant institutions/organizations are notified.

  • Author Responsibility: Authors bear full ethical and legal responsibility for their work.
