Language Text and Literary Inquiry

All manuscripts submitted to Language, Text and Literary Inquiry 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 linguistic and literary research may require direct quotations from literary works, historical texts, linguistic examples, corpora, manuscripts, interviews, or other primary materials. Such content must be clearly distinguished from the author’s own text and properly cited.
• Clear plagiarism, unattributed borrowing, duplicate publication, unacceptable self-plagiarism, fabricated references, invented quotations, manipulated linguistic data, or misuse of textual evidence may result in immediate rejection.
• Authors bear full responsibility for the originality of their manuscripts and the accuracy of all citations, references, quotations, translations, linguistic examples, corpora, textual evidence, and research data used.
