Plagiarism Policy

Wadi Alshatti University Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences has a strict policy against plagiarism. Plagiarism includes presenting someone else's work or ideas as one's own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into one's work without full acknowledgment. This includes copying text, ideas, images, or data from another source, even from the author's own publications, without proper citation. The journal also considers the use of any artificial intelligence (AI) tools to generate content as a form of plagiarism.

The journal uses plagiarism detection software, including Turnitin, to screen submitted manuscripts. If plagiarism is detected, the manuscript may be rejected. If plagiarism is discovered in a published article, the journal may retract the publication, and the authors' institutions may be notified.
