Artvin Coruh University International Journal of Social Sciences has been reviewing articles/journals for plagiarism since June 2019 (Volume: 5, Issue: 1). Before submitting an article to our journal, it is recommended that you first measure the similarity of your article with the help of appropriate plagiarism programs (iThenticate, Turnitin, etc.). In this context, similarity rates are determined by Turnitin software in the preliminary evaluation stage of the articles/journals submitted to our journal and this rate is considered reasonable by our Editorial Board to be below 20% for our journal. Articles/journals above this rate are returned to the author(s).
