The Law Brigade Publishers is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity in our publications. This policy outlines our expectations regarding plagiarism and the use of AI-generated content in submitted manuscripts.
- Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the act of presenting the work of another as one’s own without proper attribution. This includes:
- Verbatim copying of text without quotation marks and proper citation.
- Paraphrasing content without proper attribution.
- Mosaic plagiarism, where content from multiple sources is combined without proper citation.
The Law Brigade Publishers enforces a strict plagiarism policy. Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 10% will be returned to the authors for revision and resubmission. Similarity will be determined through a plagiarism detection software.
- AI-Generated Content
The Law Brigade Publishers has a zero-tolerance policy for AI-generated content in submitted manuscripts.
We believe that original research and critical analysis are fundamental to the advancement of legal scholarship. AI-generated content undermines these core principles and can potentially lead to the dissemination of inaccurate or misleading information.
- Manuscript Review Process
Manuscripts that meet the following criteria will be forwarded to the peer-review process:
- Plagiarism index of 10% or less
- 0% AI-generated content
Manuscripts exceeding the plagiarism threshold or containing AI-generated content will be returned to the author(s) with specific details on the identified issues. Authors will be requested to revise their manuscript and resubmit it within a specified timeframe. Failure to resubmit a compliant manuscript within the designated time frame will result in rejection.
- Appeals
Authors who disagree with a plagiarism or AI-content detection finding may submit a formal appeal. Appeals should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief and explain the reasons for the disagreement.
- Conclusion
The Law Brigade Publishers is committed to publishing high-quality, original research in the legal field. This policy aims to ensure the integrity of our publications and safeguard the scholarly contributions of our authors.
Please note: This policy is subject to change at any time. We encourage authors to review this policy before submitting a manuscript for publication.
