Aims and Scope:

Tikrit Journal of Pure Science is a peer-reviewed periodical dedicated to publishing articles that align with its scope and editorial standards. The journal covers various disciplines of original experimental and theoretical research in pure and applied sciences. All submitted papers undergo an extensive peer review by a panel of referees. The journal is published 6 issues annually.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

The author(s) guarantee(s) that the manuscript has not been submitted for publication to any other journal and it will not be published elsewhere in any language . Authors wishing to include figures or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.

Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts through online submission at https://tjpsj.org/index.php/tjps/about/submissions. The electronic manuscript shall be prepared in accordance with the “Manuscript Preparation Guide.”

Plagiarism

Authors are advised to observe high standards in the aspect of publication ethics. Any plagiarism (fabrication or falsification of data) is strictly unacceptable practice in TJPS, including duplicate publication of the author’s work without proper citation.

Every manuscript submitted for publication is checked for plagiarism via Turnitin after submission and before being sent to the editor for editorial review. Any detection of overlapping and similar texts in the manuscripts submitted will be investigated promptly and may lead to the manuscript being rejected and put the author/authors in Backlist.

After the acceptance of publication, plagiarism is checked multiple times before the research is published. One of the reasons for revoking acceptance may be the discovery of a high plagiarism percentage after acceptance. Whether the plagiarism is intellectual or textual, the editorial board will reevaluate the research.

Researchers should also be aware that the journal considers AI-generated plagiarism. The acceptable percentage of AI-generated plagiarism must be maintained, as this concept is relatively new, and the journal continuously updates its standards regarding this matter.
