Plagiarism Policy

Pedagogical Perspective (PedPer) uses professional plagiarism-detection software to verify the originality and authenticity of all submitted manuscripts. While authors bear full responsibility for ensuring their work is original and free of plagiarism, the similarity check serves as an additional safeguard in the journal’s ethical publication process.

All submissions are screened before peer review. Based on the similarity report, the editorial team may:

• request clarification or explanation from the authors,

• ask for proper citation, paraphrasing, or revision of overlapping sections,

• return the manuscript for correction,

• or reject the submission in cases of significant or unethical similarity.

Manuscripts containing plagiarism, self-plagiarism, inappropriate text reuse, or manipulated similarity reports will be rejected. They may lead to further ethical investigation in accordance with the COPE Guidelines and the journal’s Publication Ethics & Malpractice Policy.
