Plagiarism Policy

Azimuth: Journal of Islamic Astronomy is committed to maintaining academic integrity and applies a strict anti-plagiarism policy.

Plagiarism Check: All submitted manuscripts are screened using TURNITIN. The maximum similarity tolerance is 20%. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold will be returned to the authors for revision and resubmission.
Definition: Any use of others’ work, ideas, or data without proper attribution—including self-plagiarism—is considered a violation.
Consequences: Manuscripts with significant plagiarism may be rejected, require major revision, or, if already published, will be retracted. Authors found in violation may also be subject to sanctions, including submission bans.
Commitment: The Journal upholds international publication ethics standards and expects authors to ensure originality and provide proper citations in their work.
