Plagiarism and Originality

Submissions must be original and must acknowledge wording, ideas, interpretations, translations, images, editions, archival discoveries, datasets, code and results derived from earlier work.

PHT may use similarity checking and editorial assessment. Proper quotation and citation differ from unattributed copying, disguised paraphrase, duplicate publication or recycled work presented as new.

Authors must cite related publications and explain overlap. Serious concerns may result in rejection, correction or retraction.
