Plagiarism Policy

Prevention of plagiarism is essential as it provides scientific and academic integrity. Hence, Lex Harmonia: Journal of Legal uses the Turnitin Plagiarism Detection Software for controlling plagiarism concerns. Manuscripts with a similarity score below 25% will proceed to the substantive review stage. However, if necessary, authors may be required to improve citations by properly attributing all outsourced content. Authors must carefully revise their manuscripts, add the required citations, and properly paraphrase outsourced text. They must then resubmit the manuscript along with a new Turnitin report showing no plagiarism and a similarity score below 25%.
