The Acta et Commentationes journal defines academic plagiarism as any instance where the originality of a work is compromised through improper attribution.

Plagiarism Detection and Best Practices
To ensure originality and integrity, Acta et Commentationes employs advanced plagiarism detection tools, including sistemantiplagiat.ro. The editorial team recommends the following best practices to avoid plagiarism:

• properly attribute all sources, whether text, data, or media, using the appropriate citation format as specified in the journal’s guidelines.
• enclose directly quoted text in quotation marks and provide full references.
• ensure that paraphrased content significantly differs in structure and wording from the original, while maintaining proper attribution.
• if extensive material from a single source is necessary, obtain proper permissions and justify its inclusion within the context of the study.

By adhering to these guidelines, authors contribute to the maintenance of high ethical standards in scientific research and publication.
