If the duplicate check rate of the paper is ≥20%, the paper will be submitted together with the comparison paper to the reviewer to determine the nature and form of the duplicate content. The identification standards of academic misconduct are as follows:
(1) Plagiarism and falsification: To copy or steal all or part of someone else's work without citation, which means taking the content of someone else's work as own work without admitting its source. Without the authorization of others, to edit, scissor and paste, or modify the thesis, arguments, data of tables and images from someone else's work, and adding to own paper without citation.
(2) Fabrication and manipulation: Fabrication means to fake false evidence and experimental results by fabricating experimental data and samples without basing them on actual experimental data. Manipulation means the researchers alter, delete, or get data for acquiring the ideal results to cater to the research conclusions, in the form of subjective selecting the data and manipulating the raw data, etc.
(3) Improper attribution: Signatories who have not participated in the relevant research but intentionally sign on others' work for some purpose, including unwarranted infringe the results of others, ranking of the authors incorrectly reflect actual contribution, unauthorized labeling the work with well-known authors, etc., that cause the actual attributors cannot sign or in the wrong order, or to increase the research number of those who are signed; "free-riding" in the work by those who have no merit.
(4) Duplicate submissions: same authors submit the same paper to two or more academic journals for simultaneous or sequential publication.
(5) Duplicate or repetitive publication of one academic result: to divide results based on the same investigation, experiment, or research into multiple papers for publication, or to divide a paper that should be published at once into several publishable units for publication. Multiple papers have the exact same topic. Most of the content is duplicated, or to repeat the mass contents of own published or forthcoming thesis for publication.
