At Clarity Crafters, we maintain a strict anti-plagiarism policy to preserve academic integrity.
Definition:
Plagiarism is defined as the use or close imitation of another’s work and the representation of it as one’s own. This includes self-plagiarism—reusing one’s own published content without proper citation or permission.
Editorial Stance:
- We assume that all manuscripts submitted to Clarity Crafters are original.
- We do not knowingly edit plagiarized work.
- Responsibility for plagiarism (including self-plagiarism) lies solely with the authors.
- If we inadvertently edit plagiarized material, we disclaim any liability.
Tolerated Exceptions:
- Authors may reuse small sections of their previous work only if:
• The reused content is minimal relative to the new content.
• Proper attribution is given (e.g., citation or typographic differentiation). - Reuse is acceptable if the original work was published as a technical report in a non-archival publication or in a different language.
Authors are reminded to adhere to ethical writing standards and submission guidelines.
