The editorial office of Scientific Review Engineering and Environmental Sciences (SREES) is committed to publishing only original work that has not been previously published and is not under consideration elsewhere.

Screening tool

All submitted manuscripts are screened for originality using Crossref Similarity Check (iThenticate software) before being sent for peer review.

Evaluation procedure

The similarity report is assessed by the handling editor. A high overall similarity index or a significant overlap with a single source triggers a detailed editorial review. The editor considers the context of each match (e.g. correctly cited quotations, standard methodology descriptions, or reference lists are not treated as plagiarism).

Consequences of detected plagiarism

If plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or undisclosed duplicate submission is confirmed at any stage —” before or after publication”— the manuscript is rejected or the published article is retracted in accordance with COPE guidelines. The authors' institution may be notified.
