Plagiarism is presenting the ideas, methods, data, applications, writings, figures or works of others as one's own work in whole or in part without citing the authors in accordance with scientific rules.
Selçuk Journal of Agricultural and Food Sciences scans all submitted manuscripts to prevent plagiarism. The papers submitted for review are checked for plagiarism using Ithenticate software. The similarity rate is expected to be less than 20%. The main measure of similarity is the author's compliance with the rules of citation and citation. If the similarity rate is 1%, but citation and quotation are not done properly, plagiarism may still be in question. In this respect, citation and quotation rules should be known and carefully applied by the author: Selcuk Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences.
