Special Note about Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a very real problem in the scholarly research community. Internet plagiarism is an epidemic since it is readily
available and can be found in every corner. If you submit plagiarized content even without your intention, you not only commit
an injustice against the original researchers, but you can severely damage your reputation and be subject to legal
ramifications. Now, with the click of a button, OIDA can upload a submission for comparison with content from more than
21,000 journals to ensure articles you send are original work. ScholarOne’s plagiarism checking feature makes it easy to
protect the OIDA journal from publishing plagiarized content. OIDA submits your paper (s) to ScholarOne and ScholarOne’s
plagiarism protection service to avoid publishing plagiarized contents.
OIDA is working with ScholarOne and ScholarOne’s plagiarism protection service lets us quickly and easily submit a
manuscript to iThenticate directly from our ScholarOne Manuscripts site. Customized to our workflow, OIDA can set role-by-
role submission rights and access the iThenticate link anywhere in the review process. OIDA can also pre-define similarity
index thresholds, automatically triggering an email when this meets or exceeds our set value. This notification can be
configured to be delivered to anyone. OIDA is also working with CrossRef. CrossRef is an industry-leading non-profit
association providing comparison services to help journals ensure only original content is published. When your manuscript is
uploaded to the CrossCheck database for verification, it is compared to all other articles in their database using iThenticate
technology. In less than a minute, OIDA get a full report of the manuscript’s similarity to all others in the system. This Overall
Similarity Index Percentage lets us quickly and easily see how unique the content of the submission is. OIDA can make
decisions based on this score or drill down further to see the exact phrases and language matches, allowing us to determine if
similarities are because of commonly used phrases within the field or if the author likely borrowed another author’s work.
