Plagiarism occurs if someone intentionally or knowingly copies others work or someone copies content without providing the appropriate references.

Plagiarism before Publishing
Career Point International Journal of Research (CPIJR) will judge any case of plagiarism on its limits. If plagiarism is detected by the editorial board member, reviewer, editor etc., in any stage of article process- before or after acceptance, during editing or at a page proof stage. We will alert the same to the author(s) and will ask them to rewrite the content or to cite the references from where the content has been taken. If more than 40% of the paper is plagiarized- the article may be rejected and the same is notified to the author.

When Plagiarism Check Done?
All the submitted manuscripts for publication are checked for plagiarism after submission and before starting review.

Handling Plagiarism?
The manuscripts or papers in which the plagiarism is detected are handled based on the extent of the plagiarism.
• Below 10% Plagiarism: The manuscript will be sent to Reviewer Board.
• 10- 40% Plagiarism: The manuscript is sent back to author for content revision.
• Above 40% Plagiarism: As per UGC guidelines the manuscript will be rejected.

Originality
By submitting Author(s) manuscript to the journal it is understood that it is an original manuscript and is unpublished work and is not under consideration elsewhere. Plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the author’s own work, in whole or in part without proper citation is not tolerated by the journal. Manuscripts submitted to the journal may be checked for originality using anti-plagiarism software.
Plagiarism misrepresents ideas, words, and other creative expression as one’s own. Plagiarism represents the violation of copyright law. Plagiarism appears in various forms.
• Copying the same content from the other source. Purposely using portions of another author’s paper or content.
• Copying elements of another author’s paper, such as figures, tables, equations or illustrations that are not common knowledge, or copying or purposely using sentences without citing the source.
• Using exact text downloaded from the internet.
• Copying or downloading figures, photographs, pictures or diagrams without acknowledging your sources.

Acknowledging Author(s) Sources
Self-plagiarism is a related issue. In this document we define self-plagiarism as the verbatim or near-verbatim reuse of significant portions of one’s own copyrighted work without citing the original source. Note that self-plagiarism does not apply to publications based on the author’s own previously copyrighted work (e.g., appearing in a conference proceedings) where an explicit reference is made to the prior publication. Such reuse does not require quotation marks to delineate the reused text but does require that the source be cited.

Accidental or Unintentional
One may not even know that they are plagiarizing. It is the responsibility of the author(s), to make certain that they understand the difference between quoting and paraphrasing, as well as the proper way to cite material.

Report Plagiarism
Editorial team, reviewer team has taken due care to assess the plagiarism but in case plagiarism is found with published manuscripts/papers of CPIJR, it is the sole duty of the original contributor to report the plagiarized content to us. Such reported cases will be re-evaluated and notified to the Author(s) for making revision. We will remove the paper from web sources until author resubmit revised paper.
