Originality of Manuscript

Plagiarism is theft of others' published and unpublished ideas or other intellectual property without their consent, or presenting them as innovative work rather than derived from an existing source. JARMS seriously takes issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches in publication. Equally, the Editorial Board aims to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice.

The papers submitted to JARMS are being processed in Plagiarism Detection Software using Turnitin with an allowable similarity index of less than 19%.
