Plagiarism Screening
All manuscripts submitted to PEACEE are checked for similarity using [Turnitin / iThenticate] before being sent for peer review. Manuscripts with an overall similarity index above [20]%, or with substantial overlap with a single source, will be returned to the authors for revision or rejected.
Plagiarism in any form, including self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, and copying of text, data, figures, or ideas without proper attribution, is unacceptable. If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article may be corrected or retracted in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
