IRENOVA maintains a strict policy against plagiarism to uphold the integrity of the research it publishes. Plagiarism, including the unauthorized use or close imitation of another author's work without proper citation, is a serious ethical violation and is not tolerated under any circumstances.

All submitted manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using reliable detection tools, including Turnitin and CrossRef Similarity Check. Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 25% will be returned to the authors for revision or may be rejected outright, depending on the severity of the overlap. Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submissions are original, properly cited, and free from any form of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism.

If plagiarism is identified at any stage of the publication process, the editorial team will take appropriate action, which may include rejecting the manuscript, notifying the authors' institution, or retracting the article if it has already been published. IRENOVA adheres to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to handle cases of plagiarism transparently and fairly.

By implementing this plagiarism policy, IRENOVA ensures the credibility, originality, and ethical standards of the research it disseminates.
