Plagiarism Policy

Zero tolerance of plagiarism is highly appreciated. However, a 10 percent of plagiarism is considered. It is the authors’ responsibility to check the status of plagiarism and declare the same thereby. The authors should check their plagiarism and enclose the plagiarism report with the article.

However, the publisher and editor of South Asian Journal of Participative Development will also check the plagiarism through the web-based standard software programme, Plagiarism Detector which compares documents and marks found similarities as a possible instance of plagiarism.

In case of any information or complaint of any kind of plagiarism in the articles, the management of the SAJPD will immediately remove the article from the website.
