Plagiarism Policy

The European Journal of English Language Studies (EJELS)does not require all authors to sign the letter of submission. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all authors have agreed to be listed and approved for the paper submission to the journal and for approved papers managing all communication between the journal and all co-authors before and after publication. All manuscripts are checked for plagiarism using the iThenticate tool by EJELS. Authors should strictly avoid plagiarism, including self-plagiarism. Manuscripts with over 15% overlapping from the similarity report results exceeding 15% would not be considered for publication by EJELS. Papers submitted to EJELS must be original and not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. If the publisher or editors of our journal are made aware of any allegations of research misconduct related to an article published in our journal, our publisher or editor follows Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines when addressing the allegations.

The editorial board will thoroughly check submitted manuscripts in order to identify and prevent possible research misconduct regarding the publication of papers with EJELS. According to the Editor’s and reviewers’ feedback, the corresponding author is responsible for retracting or correcting articles if research misconduct is identified.
EJELS is a member of iThenticate, an initiative to help editors verify the originality of submitted manuscripts.
EJELS refers to the ethical principles set out by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
