Citation Rate

Sozusa Peer -Reviewed Scientific Journal believes that originality and creativity are the essence of sound scientific research. In our efforts to ensure the quality and integrity of published content, we have established a clear policy regarding the citation rate of submitted research papers.

To maintain the highest standards of originality, the permitted citation rate in any research submitted for publication should not exceed 25% of the total text. This rate is carefully verified using an internationally recognized similarity detection program.

This criterion aims to

N

Promote Originality

Encourage researchers to present their own intellectual contributions and critical analysis, rather than relying excessively on the work of others.

N

Combat Plagiarism

Apply strict preventive measures against all forms of plagiarism and safeguard intellectual property rights.

N

Promote Scientific Value

Ensure that published research contributes genuinely to knowledge.

We encourage all researchers to accurately and authentically cite scholarly sources, but to adhere to the permitted limit to ensure that the substance of the research reflects their original work and intellectual effort.
