Plagiarism policy
JJEOSHS rejects all submitted articles, book reviews, and short reports that are plagiarized. In turn, plagiarism is defined as the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. Bowdoin (2018) has highlighted the common types of plagiarism as including:
Direct Plagiarism, which is the word-for-word transcription from another person’s work, without quotation marks.
Self-Plagiarism is a phenomenon where a learner submits his or her previous work without a consensus with his or her lecturers who were initially involved. In view of this, a person who wants to publish some of her thesis/dissertation chapters has to liaise with his or her professors first.
Mosaic Plagiarism takes place when a learner borrows phrases from a particular source and fails to use quotation marks or use synonyms as he or she seeks to retain the overall structure and meaning of the original version. It is sometimes called “patch writing.” This kind of paraphrasing is academically sanction-able even in cases where a person footnotes his or her sources.
Accidental Plagiarism takes place when an individual fail to cite their respective sources, misquotes sources, or by error paraphrases a source while using similar words.
In a nutshell, there are major plagiarism (copy and paste of large amounts of text) and minor plagiarism (where an author uses parts of an introduction from an earlier article). To this end, JJEOSHS utilizes plagiarism detection software to scan and eventually verify originality of the submitted works. At the moment, ithenticate software is being used, http://www.ithenticate.com. In view of this, JJEOSHS reserves the right to formally retract an already published material and eventually declare it publicly as plagiarized. This firmly calls for original researched work.
It is critically important to put to your attention that all records are archived.
Send your article as an e-mail attachment to editor@jumugajournal.org or submission@jumugajournal.org.
Jumuga Journal of Education, Oral Studies, and Human Sciences (JJEOSHS) board always makes quick and objective reviews and eventually decides on whether to proceed with the publication or not. Ultimately, the corresponding author is informed out rightly. Once accepted and re-edited for online publication, the author will be informed promptly. That is, within 72 hours.
JJEOSHS insists that the cover letter has to include the corresponding author’s full address, email, and telephone numbers; and our correspondence with the author should ordinarily be via email. As an email attachment, the author’s file should bear his or her surname.
