The Policy of Screening for Plagiarism
All manuscripts must be free from plagiarism contents. Manuscripts submitted to the Transactions on Fuzzy Sets and Systems (TFSS) will be screened for plagiarism using Similarity Check /iThenticate plagiarism detection tools. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software to do similarity checking before submitting their manuscript to the journal.
Editors check the plagiarism detection of manuscripts in the Transactions on Fuzzy Sets and Systems (TFSS) by using Grammarly detection software (www.grammarly.com) and using iThenticate. The journal will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism. Whenever it is determined that the manuscript has not complied with the plagiarism rules, the article is rejected (before accepting) and if it has been published (after accepting), it will be removed from the published list and placed in the Retraction list (returned articles because of Failure to observe plagiarism law).
