The Journal of Human Resource Management and Knowledge Advancement, published by the Bentala Institute, is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and ethics. To ensure the originality and authenticity of the published content, the journal has a strict policy against plagiarism.

Plagiarism is defined as the act of using someone else's work, ideas, or words without proper citation, credit, or acknowledgment. The journal uses a robust plagiarism detection system to identify and prevent plagiarism in all submitted manuscripts. The system checks for similarities with existing publications, including academic journals, books, and online sources.

The journal adheres to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and follows a double-blind review process to ensure that all manuscripts are evaluated fairly and objectively. The journal also operates under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license, which allows for the free distribution and reuse of published content, provided that the original authors and source are properly cited.

To avoid plagiarism, authors are required to:

• Properly cite all sources used in their research, including academic journals, books, and online sources.
• Use quotation marks to indicate direct quotes from other sources.
• Paraphrase and summarize information from other sources in their own words, rather than copying and pasting.
• Disclose any potential conflicts of interest or funding sources that may have influenced their research.

Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism will be subject to rejection, and authors may face further action, including being banned from submitting to the journal in the future. The journal reserves the right to use plagiarism detection software to verify the originality of all submitted manuscripts.

By submitting a manuscript to the Journal of Human Resource Management and Knowledge Advancement, authors acknowledge that they have read and understood the journal's plagiarism policy and agree to abide by its terms.
