Geotenses: International Journal of Future Geography Education is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. To uphold these standards, all submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous plagiarism screening process before being sent for peer review.

Plagiarism Screening Process

• Every manuscript is checked using reputable plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin, iThenticate) to identify similarities with published works.
• Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 20%(excluding references, quotations, and common phrases) will be carefully reviewed by the editorial team.

Actions for Detected Plagiarism

• If minor similarities are detected, authors may be asked to revise the manuscript to properly cite sources or rephrase content.
• Manuscripts found to contain significant plagiarism or duplicated content without proper citation will be rejected outright.
• Cases of suspected plagiarism may lead to notifications to the authors’ affiliated institutions and further investigation.

Author Responsibilities

• Authors must ensure their work is original and properly cites all sources and previous publications.
• Self-plagiarism (republication of the author’s own previously published work without acknowledgment) is also prohibited.

By submitting a manuscript to Geotenses, authors confirm that the submission complies with the journal’s ethical standards on plagiarism and originality.
