The Editorial Board of Vidya expects all prospective authors to read and understand our
Ethics Policy before submitting any manuscripts to our journals.
Please note that submitted manuscripts may be subject to checks using the Turn It On
service,
in conjunction with INFLIBNET, in order to detect instances of overlapping and similar
text.
The anti-plagiarism software checks submissions against millions of published research
papers, documents on the web, and other relevant sources. If plagiarism or misconduct is
found, consequences are detailed in the policy.
The chief goal of our policy is threefold: to provide advice for our authors, to maintain
the
scholarly integrity of our journals and their content, and to detail the ethical
responsibilities
of Vidya, our editors and authors.
We expect all authors to read and understand our ethics policy before submitting to any
of
our journals. This is in accordance with our commitment to the prevention of ethical
misconduct, which we recognise to be a growing problem in academic and professional
publications. It is important to note that most incidents of plagiarism, redundant
publication,
copyright infringement or similar occur because of a lack of understanding, and not
through
fraudulent intent. Our policy is one of prevention and not persecution.
If you have any questions, please contact the relevant editorial office.
