Sociavera: Review of Social Studies and Culture is the first to search for plagiarism in article submissions.

As a result of the online scanning with the iThenticate program, two issues related to the plagiarism rate are considered. The first of these issues is the overall rate of plagiarism in the study. This ratio is required to be below 20%. The second issue is the details in the plagiarism report. Regardless of the study's overall plagiarism rate, the plagiarism report should not include quotations from any study at 3% or more. After the plagiarism screening, both the overall plagiarism rate and the per-source plagiarism rate in the plagiarism report should be less than 20% and 3%, respectively. If one or both cannot be provided, the authors are asked to revise their work in line with the information on this page, taking into account the plagiarism report rates.

The authors can send the revised works to the journal's editor by email without submitting a new article, provided the necessary revisions are made. The revised study will be re-screened for plagiarism; if the conditions are met, it will pass the plagiarism screening phase. If the conditions are not met, the study will be rejected.

In the article applications, plagiarism screening is made on the day the application is made. If the study's plagiarism report is in line with the journal's criteria, the next step, the Article Pre-Evaluation (Scientific Qualification) Stage, is passed on the day of application. If the plagiarism report is not suitable, the situation is reported to the authors, and the first-stage process continues.

When citing studies, repeating the same sentences is also perceived as plagiarism. For this reason, in quotations made from various sources, if the quotation is taken directly, it should be given in quotation marks ("). Although citing a source is of great importance in order not to perceive the citation as plagiarism, it changes the sentence structure.
