Consequences of Plagiarism:
-
Minor plagiarism may require corrections or proper attribution before publication.
-
Major plagiarism, duplicate publication, or data misrepresentation will result in immediate rejection of the manuscript and may be reported to the author’s institution.
-
-
Post-Publication Action: If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal reserves the right to issue corrections, retractions, or notices of concern in line with ethical publishing standards.

Author Responsibility: Authors must ensure that all co-authors agree with the submission and are aware of the journal’s plagiarism policy.
By implementing this policy, JIR ensures the integrity, credibility, and trustworthiness of the scientific record, maintaining a fair and ethical environment for scholarly communication.
