Plagiarism Policy

The Qualitative Inquiry in Education: Theory and Practice (QIETP) is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and originality in all of the manuscripts we publish. We take plagiarism very seriously and have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism and plagiarism of others' work.

All submitted manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using a plagiarism detection software, and any manuscripts found to contain plagiarized material will be immediately rejected. In addition, authors who engage in plagiarism may be barred from submitting to the Qualitative Inquiry in Education: Theory and Practice (QIETP) in the future.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are original and do not contain any material that has been previously published or that infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others. Any use of another's work must be properly cited and acknowledged, and authors must obtain permission from copyright holders before using copyrighted material in their manuscripts.

By submitting a manuscript to the Qualitative Inquiry in Education: Theory and Practice (QIETP), authors certify that their work is original and has not been previously published, and that any sources used in their work are properly cited and acknowledged. The journal reserves the right to take appropriate action in cases of suspected plagiarism, including but not limited to rejecting manuscripts and reporting cases to relevant authorities.

We believe that upholding the highest standards of academic integrity is essential to the advancement of scholarship and knowledge in the field of education, and we appreciate the cooperation of our authors in ensuring the originality and integrity of the manuscripts we publish.
