Anti-Plagiarism Policy

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.
