Plagiarism and Duplicate Publication

The Bioscience Journal is firmly committed to the originality and integrity of the scientific content it publishes. Plagiarism and duplicate publication, as defined in our Research and Publication Ethics Statement, are considered serious forms of misconduct and are strictly prohibited.

The Bioscience Journal uses free software to assist in plagiarism detection and similarity verification during the Evaluation Process.

Important:

• It is the authors' responsibility to ensure manuscript originality and declare at submission any prior disclosure or potential overlap with works already published or under consideration elsewhere.
• Note that prior publications on preprint servers, or as theses, dissertations, or conference works, are not accepted and may be considered duplicate publication, as detailed in our Prior Publications policy.

Plagiarism or duplicate publication confirmation is unacceptable, whether during evaluation or after publication, and will lead to rigorous disciplinary actions as described in our Research and Publication Ethics Statement policy.

Procedures for handling suspected misconduct cases, including plagiarism and duplicate publication, follow COPE guidelines and flowcharts and are detailed in our Processing Suspected Misconduct section.
