"FOR" high-quality research with Unicheck

April 06, 2018

The Publishing Company "Business Perspectives" advocates adherence to the principles of ethics and integrity of science, which is why it has chosen a reliable partner in ensuring the scientific publications quality and has concluded a cooperation agreement with Unicheck.

The service was created by Ukrainian developers in 2014 and is actively functioning at academic institutions, universities, publishing houses, etc. in Ukraine, Belgium, the USA and other countries of the world.

Clear and manageable reporting data (search and ability to take properly cited sentences and list of references); colorizing all text similarities and generating a list of links to original sources; automatic determining the characters and letters replacement in the text, as well as the reverse automatic substitution into the text of the correct ones and search for a modified version plagiarism; one-page test rate is 2-4 seconds; possibility of simultaneous check up as much as 100 works; support for 18 file formats; and multilingualism (56 languages) are the service advantages.

Thanks to the detailed reports generated by Unicheck, the evaluating each work gets much simpler and faster.

Besides the Ukrainian software, manuscripts are additionally tested using the powerful Similarity Check service initiated by the PILA publishers association and embedded in CrossRef international scientific and research information register. This service is developed for publishers to prevent scientific and professional plagiarism; it consists of Similarity Check and the iThenticate tool, which compares the author's work with the database contents and shows similarities or similar text for further review of the academic paper.

An important point is that all manuscripts that the publisher sends for an external "blind" review initially go through a checking process for similarities/identity/commonalities in the texts, and only in the absence of plagiarism the manuscript is sent for reviewing.
