Anti-plagiarism Checking
A combination of pre-screening and
open access is the best possible defence against plagiarism. All manuscripts submitted to JMPhil are
automatically screened for plagiarism by the Similarity Check system
from Crossref. This system compares incoming submissions to a large
database of academic content, and alerts editors to any possible issues.
Rigorous Peer Review
JMPhil ensures that all research output, in
both journals and books, is thoroughly peer reviewed by external
reviewers, and offer the option of open peer review if required.
Publications of a commentary or opinion nature may not be sent for
external peer review but will include extensive editorial review and
revisions. Through membership of the Committee on Publication Ethics
(COPE), our editors and editorial boards receive ethical guidance and
professional networking. All of our journals adhere to the COPE guidelines for best practice. For more information, visit our peer review policy page.
