Plagiarism Statement
All manuscripts submitted to Public Governance and Constitutional Order Review 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.
- Properly cited quotations from constitutions, legislation, regulations, judicial decisions, treaties, government documents, and other official legal texts are assessed in light of the specific characteristics of legal and institutional research.
- Clear plagiarism, unattributed use of another author’s work, duplicate publication, unacceptable self-plagiarism, fabrication of references, or misuse of sources may result in immediate rejection.
- Authors bear full responsibility for the originality of their manuscripts and the accuracy of all citations, references, legal materials, institutional documents, and data used.
