Plagiarism

Plagiarism screening will be conducted by the editors of SPEAR: Studies in Physics Education and Applied Research twice, namely before the review process and after the review process prior to publication, using the TURNITIN Similarity Check. Article manuscripts must have a similarity index of less than 20%. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold will be returned to the authors for revision and may be resubmitted. Resubmitted manuscripts will undergo a new screening process, and if the similarity index remains above the specified limit, the editors will reject the manuscript.
