Plagiarism Policy

Green Economy and Development screens every submission with anti-plagiarism software. Academic honesty is a founding principle of the journal.

A manuscript is returned to its authors when the similarity score exceeds the threshold the editorial board has set, when material is reproduced without a citation, when a text is self-plagiarised from the authors’ own earlier work, or when data or results have been fabricated.

Plagiarism discovered after publication leads to a retraction, and a notice of retraction is published in its place.
