Plagiarism Policy

The Journal of Sports Science Academy (JOSSA) editorial team follows a zero-tolerance policy towards plagiarism. Therefore, all submitted manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using Turnitin software. To be considered for the review process, the overall similarity index of the manuscript must be under 20%. Additionally, authors are expected to use original expressions in all sections of the manuscript, excluding references and direct quotes. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism will be rejected immediately and authors will be notified. Authors are also required to upload the similarity report during manuscript submission.
