Originality and acknowledgement of sources
The editorial proposal promotes identifying sources and clearly distinguishing original contributions from ideas, data or expressions drawn from other work.
Interpreting matches
A similarity report, if used, must be interpreted in context. Matches may reflect quotations, references or common expressions; a percentage alone does not establish plagiarism.
Concerns
The proposal is to request clarification where doubts arise and document the assessment before reaching a decision.
Still to be defined: tools, responsibilities and checking procedure. No automatic acceptance or rejection threshold is announced.
