Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism Policy of the Journal of Youth Sports Academy (JYSA)

The publication processes of the Journal of Youth Sports Academy (JYSA) are based on the impartial production, development, and sharing of knowledge through scientific methods.

Peer-reviewed articles are studies that ensure the application of the scientific method and adherence to the principle of impartiality. All components of the publication process—publishers, editors, authors, reviewers, and readers—must comply with ethical principles in the production of scientific work. In this context, the publication ethics and open access policy of the Journal of Youth Sports Academy are guided by the guidelines and policies published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (e.g., "Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors" and "COPE Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors"). These guidelines require all parties involved in the publication process to adhere to ethical standards.

If any form of data manipulation, distortion, or fabrication is detected in a manuscript, the author's affiliated institution will be formally notified, and the manuscript will be rejected. JYSA reserves the right to request output files related to the analysis results from authors based on feedback provided by editors and/or reviewers. The responsibility for all information and statements declared in published works lies solely with the author(s).

Authors must submit a plagiarism report along with their manuscript. Plagiarism is one of the most common and serious ethical issues affecting scientific writing. The Journal of Youth Sports Academy takes necessary measures to prevent any form of plagiarism. Additionally, all manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection software (iThenticate, Turnitin) to identify overlapping and similar text. Manuscripts with a similarity score exceeding 20% will not be accepted for publication.
