Plagiarism and Publication Misconduct Policy

The Journal of Digital Islamic Studies and Humanities (DISAH) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and research integrity. Any form of academic misconduct, unethical behavior, or publication malpractice is considered unacceptable.

Research misconduct includes, but is not limited to:

• Plagiarism;
• Fabrication, falsification, or manipulation of research data and results;
• Duplicate, redundant, or simultaneous submission/publication;
• Improper attribution of authorship or omission of eligible authors;
• Citation manipulation or misleading referencing practices;
• Failure to disclose conflicts of interest;
• Any conduct that violates the principles of academic honesty and integrity.

All submitted manuscripts are screened for originality and textual similarity before entering the peer review process. To detect potential plagiarism and textual overlap, the journal uses the SamimNoor Text Similarity Detection System (https://www.samimnoor.ir), a scholarly similarity-checking platform developed for identifying similarities in Persian academic texts. Manuscripts with unacceptable levels of similarity may be rejected or returned to authors for clarification or revision.

If evidence of misconduct is identified at any stage of submission, review, publication, or post-publication, the journal reserves the right to take appropriate action, including manuscript rejection, suspension of the review process, publication of corrections, article retraction, and notification of relevant institutions when necessary.

Authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to uphold the principles of research ethics, confidentiality, impartiality, transparency, and academic integrity.

The journal follows internationally recognized principles of publication ethics and, where applicable, the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) in investigating allegations of misconduct and safeguarding the integrity of the scholarly record.
