Eteranova: Journal of Engineering and Technological Innovation is committed to upholding academic integrity and the originality of all published works. Therefore, every manuscript submitted will undergo a plagiarism screening before entering the peer review process.

Procedure:

1. Plagiarism Detection Tool:
   Manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin or equivalent tools.

2. Acceptable Similarity Threshold:
   The maximum acceptable overall similarity index is 20%, with no single source exceeding 5%, excluding properly cited quotations and references.

3. Actions Against Plagiarism:

   • In cases of minor plagiarism (similarity >20% but correctable), the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.

   • In cases of major plagiarism (e.g., verbatim copying or data manipulation), the manuscript will be rejected immediately, and the authors may be banned from future submissions.

4. Self-plagiarism:
   Authors may not reuse significant portions of their own previously published work without proper citation and substantial modification.
