Plagiarism Policy

At the Journal of Clinical and Medical Images, Case Reports, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics. A rigorous and transparent peer review process is central to maintaining the integrity and quality of scientific research. As part of this commitment, we take a strict stance against plagiarism in any form.

What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism refers to the unauthorized use or close imitation of another author’s language, ideas, concepts, or expressions, and presenting them as one’s own original work. It is a serious breach of ethical standards and academic integrity, and may result in sanctions including manuscript rejection, retraction, or formal notification to the authors’ institutions.

Author Guidelines

We do not tolerate plagiarism or duplicate submissions. Authors are strongly encouraged to ensure the originality of their work prior to submission. While we recommend using plagiarism detection tools as a preliminary check, authors should not rely solely on these tools, as they are not foolproof.

Editorial Screening

All submitted manuscripts undergo a plagiarism screening process prior to peer review. If any degree of plagiarism is detected—whether by our editorial team, reviewers, or technical tools—the manuscript may be rejected or returned for revision, depending on the severity of the issue. Authors will be informed of any findings and may be asked to provide clarification or correction.

Our journal remains committed to supporting ethical publishing practices and promoting responsible authorship.

Publication Charges

The Mega Journal of Case Reports operates under the Open Access model, allowing unrestricted access to all published content. Readers worldwide can freely read, share, and download articles without the need for a subscription or prior permission from the publisher or authors—only an internet connection is required.

As an author-funded model, the corresponding or primary author assumes responsibility for the publication fee. In many cases, these charges are supported by universities, research institutions, or funding bodies.

Publishing a manuscript involves various operational costs, including editorial management, peer review coordination, typesetting, digital hosting, and archiving. To cover these expenses, a publication fee ranging from USD 2700 to USD 4050 is applicable per accepted manuscript, depending on the article type and processing requirements.

We appreciate your support in helping us maintain high standards and ensure the global dissemination of clinical knowledge.

Copyright and Disclosure:

• Authors must ensure the manuscript does not breach any third-party copyrights.
• All co-authors must provide a disclosure statement at the time of submission.
• Authors must also submit signed statements regarding authorship, conflict of interest, and permissions for clinical images.

Manuscript Withdrawal Policy

Authors may withdraw their manuscript without penalty if a formal withdrawal request is submitted within 72 hours of the initial submission.

However, if a withdrawal request is made after the manuscript has entered peer review, progressed to production (Early Release or Ahead of Publishing), or has been published online, a withdrawal fee of USD 1650 will be applicable. This fee covers the editorial and production costs incurred during the manuscript processing stages.

We encourage authors to carefully consider their decision before submission and communicate promptly if withdrawal is necessary.
Once an article is accepted and APC is paid, the fee is non-refundable.

Publication Ethics:

• The journal follows strict publication ethics, ensuring scientific content is reviewed impartially without regard to the authors’ gender, religion, race, etc.
• Editors ensure confidentiality and unbiased reviews.

Reprints:

• Reprints will be provided within 10-20 days after publication.
