The Journal of Strategic Administration (JSA) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical publishing. The journal strictly prohibits plagiarism in any form.

Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism refers to the use of another person’s ideas, words, data, or research findings without proper acknowledgment. This includes copying text, figures, tables, or concepts from previously published works without appropriate citation.

Plagiarism may include, but is not limited to:

• Direct copying of text without proper citation
• Paraphrasing another author’s work without acknowledgment
• Using data, images, or results without permission or reference
• Submitting previously published work as original research (duplicate publication)

Plagiarism Detection

All submitted manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection tools such as Turnitin or equivalent software, in addition to editorial evaluation processes, to ensure originality and compliance with ethical standards.

Manuscripts with significant similarity to existing publications may be rejected prior to the peer review process.

Editorial Actions

If plagiarism is identified at any stage of the editorial or publication process, the journal will take appropriate actions depending on the severity of the case. These may include:

• Immediate rejection of the manuscript
• Request for revision and proper citation
• Retraction of the article if plagiarism is detected after publication
• Notification to the authors’ affiliated institutions when necessary

Author Responsibility

Authors are fully responsible for ensuring that their submissions are original and that all sources are properly cited. By submitting a manuscript to JSA, authors confirm that their work complies with ethical publishing standards and does not contain plagiarized material.

Ethical Commitment

JSA promotes responsible research practices and encourages authors, reviewers, and editors to uphold integrity, transparency, and academic honesty throughout the publication process.
