Plagiarism and Academic Integrity
All manuscripts submitted to Ẹ̀dá Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences must constitute the authors' original work.
Plagiarism is unacceptable and includes:
- Unattributed copying
- Close paraphrasing without appropriate attribution
- Appropriation of another person's ideas
- Unauthorized use of data
- Unauthorized use of images
- Self-plagiarism
Manuscripts may be screened using plagiarism-detection software before peer review, during revision, or after publication. Where plagiarism is established, the manuscript may be rejected.
Duplicate and Simultaneous Submission
A manuscript submitted to EJHSS must not simultaneously be under consideration by another journal. Authors must disclose substantially similar work that has already been published or submitted elsewhere.
Duplicate publication may result in immediate rejection or, where appropriate, retraction after publication.
Data Integrity
Fabrication, falsification, manipulation, or selective misrepresentation of data is prohibited. Authors are expected to retain relevant research records and make them available for editorial or institutional investigation where reasonably required.
