Historical Horizons and Civilizational Studies

All manuscripts submitted to Historical Horizons and Civilizational Studies are subject to systematic similarity and plagiarism screening using professional software such as iThenticate or Turnitin.

• The maximum acceptable similarity threshold is 14%, excluding the reference list.
• The journal does not rely solely on the overall similarity percentage. The nature, location, source, and academic legitimacy of identified similarities are also examined.
• The journal recognizes that historical and civilizational research may require direct quotations from archival documents, chronicles, manuscripts, correspondence, legal texts, historical testimonies, inscriptions, or other primary sources. Such material must be clearly identified and properly referenced.
• Clear plagiarism, unattributed use of another author’s work, duplicate publication, unacceptable self-plagiarism, fabricated references, invented archival sources, manipulated historical evidence, or misuse of documentary material may result in immediate rejection.
• Authors bear full responsibility for the originality of their manuscripts and the accuracy of all citations, references, archival materials, historical documents, images, maps, manuscripts, archaeological evidence, and other sources used.
