Plagiarism policy
In the pre-review or relevance review phase, the Editorial Team of this journal uses the  Crossref Similary Check and Ithenticate services for the scanning of all submissions. We use these services in all the papers that pass the editorial triage process and are susceptible to be sent to peer-review, reserving, the journal, the decision to reject papers with an inadequate percentage of similarities. Subsequently, in the double-blind peer review phase, reviewers are provided with a form containing criteria to be considered in the article evaluation process.
In ESS, both reviewers and authors also have a variety of specific tools for plagiarism detection, such as Grammarly, Plagium, Copionic, WriteCheck, PaperRater, Plagarisma.net, Viper, Plagarism. These platforms, which are freely available or licensed, support us in the processes of monitoring originality and controlling plagiarism in the production and submission of manuscripts.
