    Plagiarism is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language, ideas, or thoughts of another author and presenting them as one’s original work without proper attribution. This includes copying text, data, images, or ideas without citation.

  2. Plagiarism Detection
    All submitted manuscripts are screened using reliable plagiarism detection software (such as Turnitin, iThenticate, or similar) to ensure originality and authenticity before the peer-review process begins.

  3. Consequences of Plagiarism

  • Manuscripts found to contain plagiarized content will be immediately rejected.

  • If plagiarism is detected after publication, the journal will take appropriate corrective actions, including issuing corrections, retractions, or notifying the authors’ institutions.

  • Authors found guilty of plagiarism may be banned from submitting future manuscripts to The Physicians' Review.

  1. Author Responsibilities
    Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are original, properly cite all sources, and avoid self-plagiarism (i.e., reusing their previously published work without proper citation).

  2. Ethical Compliance
    The journal follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) concerning plagiarism and publication misconduct.

  3. Reporting Plagiarism
    If readers or reviewers suspect plagiarism in a published article, they are encouraged to report it to the editorial office for investigation.
