Plagiarism can take place in two forms:

1. Author(s) deliberately copy someone else’s work and claim it as own work.
2. Author(s) copy their own previously published material either in full or in part without providing appropriate references called as “self-plagiarism” or “duplicate publication”

Every manuscript submitted for publication to TRJMMS is checked for plagiarism after submission and before being sent to reviewer for evaluation.“iThenticate” is used to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscript. Depending on this report, the articles can be declined or can be submitted to the editor to be evaluated.
