The Journal of Contemporary Economics (JCE) strictly adheres to international guidelines for ethical research and publishing, including the core practices recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). To uphold the integrity of scholarly work and prevent plagiarism, JCE routinely screens all submitted manuscripts with reliable plagiarism-detection tools, including PlagiarismSearch.

Additionally, the journal editor may use Crossref Similarity Check to verify the originality of submissions and ensure that all content meets the journal’s standards for originality and proper attribution. Authors are responsible for submitting work that is entirely original, appropriately cited, and ethically compliant. Any detected instances of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or unethical reuse of material will be addressed in accordance with COPE-aligned procedures, which may include manuscript rejection or post-publication corrective measures.
