Anti-plagiarism policy

Plagiarism in all forms is a manifestation of unethical behaviour and a violation of the system of professional conduct in relations between authors, reviewers, editors, publishers and readers, which contradicts the provisions of Publication Ethics.

In order to combat plagiarism, the Editorial Board informs the author(s) of their personal responsibility for the originality (authenticity) of the content of the published material, and in order to avoid borrowing from other works or using the research results of third parties, the author(s) must adhere to the ethical standards of scientific citation.

To avoid plagiarism in published materials, the Editorial Board of the journal ‘Grain Crops’ checks articles using StrikePlagiarism.com software for borrowings from third-party works without appropriate references to the source. The originality of each article must be at least 80 %.

The Editorial Board analyses all cases of recorded plagiarism and reserves the right to reject a manuscript from the review procedure.
