Plagrism Policy

The International Journal of Integrative Dental and Medical Sciences (IJIDMS) maintains strict standards to ensure the originality and integrity of all published research. All submitted manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using reliable software tools such as Turnitin and iThenticate. The journal considers plagiarism in any form, including direct copying, improper citation, self-plagiarism, and duplicate publication, as a serious violation of publication ethics. Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding acceptable limits (generally above 10–15%) may be rejected. If plagiarism is detected before publication, the manuscript will be rejected immediately, and if discovered after publication, the article will be retracted and appropriate actions will be taken. Authors are solely responsible for ensuring that their work is original and properly cited, and the journal follows a strict zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism and unethical publishing practices.
