Plagiarism Statement

Atlantis uses the plagiarism-detection software iThenticate by Turnitin^® which includes a tool to detect AI-generated text and the use of “text spinners.” Upon submitting an article to be considered for publication in Atlantis, authors certify that the article was written by them and in their own words, except for quotations and paraphrasing from published and unpublished sources, which are clearly indicated and acknowledged as such. They also certify that they are conscious that the incorporation of material from other works or a paraphrase of such material without acknowledgement will be treated as plagiarism. The source of any picture, map or other illustration is also indicated, as is the source, published or unpublished, of any material not resulting from their own experimentation, observation or data-collecting.

Upon credible suspicion that a submission has not been written by authors themselves, either as a result of not properly crediting sources or due to the presence of AI-generated or AI-enhanced text, authors will be banned from submitting their work to the journal for a period of 5 years and their users will be deactivated.
