Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism Policy
Every manuscript that is being reviewed or published by Al-Rafidain Dental Journal is subject to an iThenticate screening process. 

A major transgression of publication ethics is plagiarism. Duplicate publication, data fabrication and falsification, and incorrect author attribution are among the other infractions. Therefore, it is unethical behavior to plagiarize or knowingly make false or misleading comments. It is also forbidden to submit the same article to multiple journals at the same time, as this is considered unethical publishing behavior. 

It is important to note that up to 20% of a duplicate manuscript may be rejected by Al-Rafidain Dental Journal. Also, if the Artificial Intelligence (AI)  score is more than 5%, the manuscript is sent back to the author to reduce the Artificial Intelligence score. In addition to the plagiarism and artificial intelligence checker, we check the hidden flag and the replace flag. A manuscript is rejected immediately if it contains a hidden flag or a replaced flag.
