Plagiarism refers to the intentional copying of others' work without proper attribution or without providing appropriate references.

OJM will subject all articles submitted to similarity check using high precision anti-plagiarism checkers to ensure that there is no plagiarism.

How does the Journal handle publication misconduct
In situations where plagiarism or other publication misconduct is suspected or alleged, such will be referred to the Editorial Board, for further investigations.  The Editorial Board will largely follow the Committee on Publication Ethics( COPE) guidelines in handling the misconduct.

Different types of plagiarism include:
i. Complete plagiarism is when a researcher replaces a complete work done by another person with his name. It is also called intellectual theft.
ii. Source-based plagiarism is when a researcher cites an incorrect source, cites a source that does not exist, or uses information from a secondary source to cite a primary source. Data fabrication involves making up data or findings and falsification is altering or omitting data.
iii. Direct Plagiarism is copying verbatim a text belonging to another person without the use of quotation marks or attribution.
iv. Self-plagiarism is when an author uses substantial copies of his already published work, also called self-duplication.
v. Paraphrasing plagiarism involves making minor changes in someone’s work turning it into ours still preserving the meaning.
vi. Inaccurate Authorship is either when an individual contributes to work without getting any credit for it, or another who gets credit without contributing to the work.
vii. Mosaic plagiarism is when it interlays someone else’s phrases or text within its own research
viii. Accidental plagiarism is plagiarism that occurs out of neglect, mistake, or unintentional paraphrasing.
