Al Amanah: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity. All submitted manuscripts are subject to plagiarism screening to ensure originality and to prevent academic misconduct.

Plagiarism Screening Process:

1. Initial Check
   All manuscripts submitted to the journal are first screened using plagiarism detection software (such as Turnitin or iThenticate) prior to the peer review process.

2. Similarity Threshold
   The acceptable similarity index is less than 20% overall, with no more than 2% from a single source, excluding references and properly cited quotations. Manuscripts exceeding these thresholds will be returned to the author for revision or rejected outright, depending on the severity.

3. Types of Plagiarism Considered
   The journal considers the following practices as plagiarism:

   • Direct copying without quotation or attribution

   • Inappropriate paraphrasing without proper citation

   • Self-plagiarism (submitting one’s own previously published work without disclosure or citation)

   • Duplicate submission/publication

4. Author Responsibility
   Authors are solely responsible for ensuring the originality of their manuscripts and for providing accurate citations for all sources used.

5. Action on Detected Plagiarism
   If plagiarism is identified at any stage—before or after publication—the manuscript will be rejected or retracted. The author’s institution may also be informed.

By submitting a manuscript to Al Amanah, authors affirm that their work is original, has not been published elsewhere, and is free of plagiarism.
