Journal of Literature Education and Cultural Studies

The Journal of Literature Education and Cultural Studies (JOLECS) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical publishing. All submitted manuscripts must be original works and must not contain plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, or duplicate publication.

Before entering the peer-review process, every manuscript will be screened using Turnitin® Plagiarism Checker. The overall similarity index must not exceed 20%, excluding references, quotations, and bibliographic materials. Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding this threshold may be rejected or returned to the authors for revision before further consideration.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources are appropriately cited and referenced in accordance with the APA 7th Edition citation style. Any manuscript found to violate publication ethics, including plagiarism or duplicate submission, will be handled in accordance with the journal's Publication Ethics policy.

JOLECS reserves the right to reject, withdraw, or retract any manuscript or published article found to contain unethical publishing practices at any stage of the editorial or publication process.
