Plagiarism is copying text, ideas, images, or data from another source without crediting the original source. If the text is copied from another source, it should be placed between quotation marks and refer to the original source. If the study design is inspired by previous studies, this should be explicitly mentioned.
All submissions will check with iThenticate Professional Plagiarism Prevention software. If plagiarism detect during the review process or after publication, the paper may be rejected or retracted. We follow COPE policies in this field. The plagiarism check will perform in two stages; immediately after the submission of a manuscript and before publishing.

Fabrication/ Falsification:  If the reviewers of the article doubt the existence of data and methods, etc. of the research under review, the author is asked to provide raw data of the study, if necessary, for further research. IJDO journal seeks and acts in accordance with COPE guidelines if it encounters such issues.

Retraction Policy: The IJDO for retraction of a published article uses the COPE flowchart (https://publicationethics.org/sites/default/files/retraction-guidelines-cope.pdf)

International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, ICMJE (http://www.icmje.org/).
All manuscripts submitted to IJDO will be checked after submission and Before Publication in Terms of Plagiarism using specific software. Submission of a paper implies that it reports unpublished results that are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. If previously published tables, illustrations, or texts are included, this should be clearly indicated in the manuscript and the copyright holder’s permission must be obtained. Previously published materials can be cited in a later review or commentary article, but it must be indicated using quotation marks if necessary.
