Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism is defined as the use of others’ ideas, texts, results, or data without proper acknowledgment of their source, or presenting them as original work by the author.

• Scope of the Policy

• This policy applies to all research submitted for publication in the conference proceedings, including:

  1. full research papers
  2. extended abstracts
  3. short and technical papers

• Types of Plagiarism

• Scientific plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

  1. direct copying (copy-paste) without citation.

• Acceptable Similarity Rate
  

  1. The similarity rate should not exceed 15% to 20% at most (excluding cited references and quotations).
  2. The rate is evaluated based on the quality of the citation, not just the numerical percentage.
