Plagiarism Policy

The International Journal of Body, Mind and Culture (IJBMC) is committed to promoting originality, academic integrity, and responsible scholarship. Plagiarism includes the use of another person’s words, ideas, data, or work without appropriate acknowledgment, as well as inappropriate reuse of one’s own previously published material without proper citation.

All manuscripts may be screened using similarity-detection software. Similarity reports are assessed by the editorial team on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the nature and extent of overlap.

Where plagiarism or inappropriate textual reuse is identified, the journal may request revision, reject the manuscript, or take post-publication action where necessary.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources are properly cited and referenced and that any copyrighted material is used with appropriate permission where required.
