The Editorial Team of Veteran Law Review acknowledges that plagiarism constitutes a serious violation of academic ethics and scholarly integrity. Therefore, this journal establishes the following plagiarism policy to regulate the actions to be taken when plagiarism is identified in a manuscript submitted for publication in Veteran Law Review.

Definition of Plagiarism
Plagiarism refers to any intentional or unintentional act of obtaining, or attempting to obtain, academic credit or recognition for a scholarly work by quoting, copying, paraphrasing, or using part or all of another person's work, ideas, arguments, data, or scientific output without proper, accurate, and adequate acknowledgement of the original source.

All manuscripts submitted to Veteran Law Review must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration for publication by another journal or publisher. Any material taken directly from another source must be clearly identified through proper quotation, citation, and referencing in accordance with academic writing standards.

If plagiarism is detected, the Editor-in-Chief shall be responsible for reviewing the manuscript and determining the appropriate editorial action based on the seriousness of the violation. The following measures may be applied:

1. If the manuscript contains a short sentence or limited textual similarity from another source without proper citation, the author will receive a formal warning and will be required to revise the manuscript by correcting the text and providing accurate citation.
2. If the manuscript contains substantial plagiarism, including the use of major parts of another work without proper citation or acknowledgement, the manuscript will be rejected for publication in Veteran Law Review. The author may also be subject to further editorial sanctions, including temporary or permanent restriction from submitting manuscripts to the journal.
3. The Editorial Team of Veteran Law Review uses Turnitin as a similarity checking tool to evaluate the originality of submitted manuscripts. The maximum similarity threshold accepted by the journal is 25%. If a manuscript exceeds this threshold, the editor may request revision or reject the manuscript, depending on the nature and extent of the similarity detected.

If an author is found to have submitted the same manuscript simultaneously to Veteran Law Review and another journal, and such duplicate submission is identified during the review process or after publication, the Editorial Team shall take appropriate action in accordance with the sanction described above for serious publication misconduct.
