Plagiarism Policy

Dynamic Computing is committed to publishing original, high-quality research while maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity. The journal has a zero-tolerance policy towards plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, falsification, and other forms of research misconduct. All manuscripts submitted to the journal are expected to represent the authors' original work and comply with accepted ethical standards in scholarly publishing.

Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the use of another person's ideas, words, figures, tables, data, software, or other intellectual property without proper acknowledgement or permission. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

Copying text without proper citation.
Presenting another person's work as one's own.
Using figures, tables, or images without permission or acknowledgement.
Improper paraphrasing without appropriate citation.
Submitting previously published work as new research.
Self-plagiarism or excessive reuse of previously published material without proper disclosure.

Originality Requirement

Authors must ensure that submitted manuscripts are original, have not been published previously, and are not under consideration by another journal or conference. Appropriate acknowledgement and citation must be provided whenever previously published work is referenced.

Similarity Screening

All submitted manuscripts may be screened using recognised plagiarism detection software before being considered for peer review. The similarity report is used as a screening tool and is evaluated together with the context of the matched content. Editorial decisions are based on both the similarity assessment and the academic quality of the manuscript.

Acceptable Similarity

The journal recognises that limited similarity may arise from references, commonly used technical terminology, standard methodological descriptions, or appropriately quoted material. Authors are expected to minimise unnecessary text overlap and ensure that all borrowed material is properly cited.

Self-Plagiarism

Authors should avoid excessive reuse of their own previously published text, figures, tables, or data without appropriate citation and disclosure. Where previously published material is essential, proper acknowledgement and permission, where required, must be obtained.

Duplicate and Redundant Publication

Manuscripts that have been published previously, or are simultaneously submitted to another journal, conference, or publisher, will not be considered for publication. Submitting substantially similar manuscripts to multiple publications is regarded as unethical publication practice.

Editorial Action

If plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct are suspected, the Editorial Office may:

Request clarification from the corresponding author.
Request revision or correction of the manuscript.
Reject the manuscript without further review.
Suspend the review process while an investigation is conducted.
Notify the authors' institution where appropriate.
Retract a published article if plagiarism is identified after publication.

Responsibilities of Authors

Authors are responsible for ensuring that:

The submitted manuscript is entirely original.
All sources are properly cited.
Permissions have been obtained for copyrighted material where required.
Previously published material is clearly identified and appropriately referenced.
Any overlap with earlier publications is fully disclosed at the time of submission.

Responsibilities of Reviewers and Editors

Editors and reviewers are encouraged to report any suspected plagiarism, duplicate publication, image manipulation, or other forms of research misconduct observed during the review process. All concerns will be investigated confidentially and fairly before an editorial decision is made.

Post-Publication Actions

If plagiarism or significant ethical concerns are identified after publication, the journal will take appropriate corrective measures. Depending on the severity of the issue, this may include publishing a correction, issuing an expression of concern, or retracting the article to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record.

Commitment to Academic Integrity

Dynamic Computing is committed to promoting originality, responsible research, and ethical scholarly communication. The journal encourages authors to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and to contribute research that advances knowledge through honesty, transparency, and scientific excellence.
