ACADEMIC PUBLISHING
Bilge Academic Publishing is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. Plagiarism in any form is considered a serious breach of publication ethics and is not tolerated. All submitted manuscripts are screened for originality before peer review and may be rechecked during the editorial process or after publication when concerns arise.
All manuscripts are evaluated using reputable similarity detection software to identify potential overlap with previously published or submitted works. Similarity reports are assessed by editors, who consider not only the overall similarity percentage but also the nature, extent, and context of the matched content. Manuscripts containing unacceptable overlap may be returned for revision, rejected, or investigated further.
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, the unattributed use of another person’s text, ideas, data, images, or other intellectual property. It also includes self plagiarism, duplicate or redundant publication, inappropriate text recycling, and the reuse of previously published material without proper citation, disclosure, or permission where required.
When suspected plagiarism is identified, the editorial office investigates the matter in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidance. Authors may be asked to provide an explanation or supporting documentation. Depending on the findings, editorial actions may include revision requests, manuscript rejection, or referral to the authors’ institution when appropriate.
If plagiarism or other forms of inappropriate text reuse are confirmed after publication, Bilge Academic Publishing will take appropriate corrective action to protect the integrity of the scholarly record. Depending on the severity of the case, this may include the publication of a correction, an expression of concern, or the retraction of the article. Where appropriate, the authors’ institutions or relevant authorities may also be notified.
