The journal MEDIACIONES enforces strict originality checks on all submitted articles to uphold high standards of academic ethics and quality. Before entering the peer review process, each article undergoes a similarity analysis through Turnitin, a widely recognized plagiarism detection tool in academia.

The Turnitin analysis identifies possible matches or similarities with other academic works, publications, and internet content, ensuring that the manuscript is original and meets the ethical standards required by the journal. Key points include:

• The similarity detection tool evaluates the proportion of matching text with other sources, helping detect both direct plagiarism and unattributed paraphrasing.
• The acceptable similarity threshold is set by the MEDIACIONES editorial team, and articles exceeding this limit will be rejected or returned to authors for revision.
• Authors are expected to ensure the originality of their manuscripts and properly cite all external ideas, data, and texts.

 

Notice:

The journal MEDIACIONES considers plagiarism and self-plagiarism to be serious breaches of academic ethics, and any detected cases will result in the immediate withdrawal of the article from the editorial process.
