Plagiarism prevention

The "Pravo - teorija i praksa" does not publish the plagiarised papers. The editorial board takes a stand that plagiarism, namely downloading the other people`s ideas, words or other kinds of a creative contribution and their presenting as ourselves, represents a gross violation of both scientific and publishing ethics. Plagiarism can include the violation of the copyright too, which is punished by law.

All papers published in the Pravo - teorija i praksa are tested using iThenticate software.

Plagiarising covers the following:

• a literal (word by word) or almost literal downloading or purposely, in order to disguise the source, paraphrasing the parts of the other authors` texts without a clear citing the source, in the way described under the section The authors` responsibilities;
• copying the equations, data or tabels from the other documents without a correct quotation of the source and without the permission of the original author or the copyright holder.

The manuscript with clearly determined indications of plagiarism will automatically be rejected. In the case if plagiarism is discovered in already published paper, the paper will be repealed (withdrawn) according to the procedure described under the section The withdrawal policy.
