When you engage with our journal, e.g. when submitting a manuscript, registering on our site, or when interacting with our editorial team, we might gather some basic personal information, including:

Plagiarism Policy and Report Requirement

All manuscripts submitted to The SPL Journal of Literary Hermeneutics should be accompanied by a plagiarism/similarity report to ensure originality and compliance with academic integrity standards. Submissions without such a report may be returned to the author before being considered for review.

The journal expects every submission to be original, properly cited, and free from plagiarism. Authors are fully responsible for the authenticity, accuracy, and ethical presentation of their work. Manuscripts must remain within acceptable similarity limits as per standard academic norms.

Cases of excessive similarity, plagiarism, or improper acknowledgment may result in rejection or withdrawal of the manuscript at any stage of the publication process. The editorial team also reserves the right to verify plagiarism independently whenever required.

Authors who do not have access to plagiarism-checking tools may request the journal to generate a similarity report through reliable software. Such reports may be shared with the author and used for submission or review purposes.

Policy

The author(s) shall be solely responsible for the originality, authenticity, legality, and ethical integrity of the submitted manuscript, including any claim relating to plagiarism, copyright infringement, data fabrication, misrepresentation, or violation of academic and legal standards.
