Plagiarism Policy

The Journal of Dental Care (JDC) maintains a strict anti-plagiarism policy to ensure the integrity and originality of all published content. Authors are expected to submit only original work, and any form of plagiarism, including the copying of text, data, or ideas without proper attribution, will not be tolerated. Manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using advanced detection tools, and any suspected instances will be thoroughly investigated. If plagiarism is detected, the manuscript will be rejected, and the authors may face a ban from future submissions to the journal. In cases of plagiarism in already published articles, the journal reserves the right to retract the paper and issue a public notice.
