Plagiarism Statement

All manuscripts under review or published with KJNS are subject to screening using similarity detection Software (Turnitin). Plagiarism is a serious violation of publication ethics. Other violations include duplicate publication, data fabrication, falsification, and improper credit of author contribution.    Plagiarism, fraudulent practices, and knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable. It is necessary to mention that similarity scores of up to 20%, with no more than a 5% overlap with any single source are subjected to additional assessment; the score alone does not determine plagiarism.

All new submissions to the KJNS will be checked by the journal's similarity-screening process by two methods; the first is by editors checking and the second is by similarity-detection tool (Turnitin).
