Ethics Statement
Journal Policy for Plagiarism
The Jordanian Educational Journal has a No-tolerance policy for plagiarism. When the authors submit a manuscript to the Journal, it is clear that the submitting author(s) certify that their submitted manuscript is original research that has not been previously published or is under review for publication elsewhere. Plagiarism occurs when authors submitted others’ ideas, phraseologies, information, or other sources of material without acknowledging the original owners of these materials or another person’s written work or ideas as their own, as text, illustrations, images, long quotations, recordings, download materials from the Internet or taken from manuscripts or other forms of media. Duplicate publication, sometimes called self-plagiarism, occurs when an author reuses substantial parts of their own published work without providing the appropriate references. This can range from having the same paper published in multiple journals, in which authors add small amounts of new text or data to a previously published paper, or re-publish a portion of it.
§ Authors are responsible for indicating and acknowledging the sources for all ideas, text, images, or diagrams, published and unpublished material, including lectures, presentations, masters and Ph.D. theses.
