The journal Advanced Technologies is committed to publishing only original material, i.e., material that has neither been published elsewhere nor is under review elsewhere. Plagiarism, where someone assumes another’s ideas, words or other creative expressions as one’s own, is a clear violation of scientific ethics.

All papers are checked for plagiarism by the specialized software. Every paper that shows obvious signs or indications of plagiarism will be automatically rejected per the Retraction Policy of the journal and authors will be permanently or temporarily forbidden to publish in the journal..

Plagiarism may involve a violation of copyright law, punishable by legal action.

Plagiarism may constitute the following:

  • Word-for-word, or almost word-for-word copying, or purposely paraphrasing portions of another author’s work without clearly indicating the source or marking the copied fragment (for example, using quotation marks);
  • Copying equations, figures or tables from someone else’s paper without properly citing the source and/or without permission from the original author or the copyright holder.

If an attempt at plagiarism is found in a published paper will be automatically retracted, authors will be permanently or temporarily forbidden to publish in the journal.
