For every Journal, the peer review process is at the heart of the success of publishing. As part of our commitment to the protection and enhancement of the peer review process, The Indian society for Education and Environment would like to ensure that all published articles are within the accepted level of plagiarism. The publisher uses the very well and widely accepted Plagiarism Detection tool, iThenticate alone or in combination with other tools. All submitted Manuscripts are first subjected to Plagiarism check and then the Publishing cycle begins.

In case, plagiarism is detected during review/editorial process, such manuscript(s) will be rejected immediately and we can also consider other steps depending upon the seriousness of the case. If the plagiarism is proven after publication, such manuscript(s) will be removed from our website and appropriate announcement will be placed in this regards. Further, the publisher or Journal Editor can bring such instances in notice of author’s funding agencies, author’s institutes (where they work) and to the original authors whose work has been plagiarized. Please report the plagiarism to indjst@gmail.com
