Originality and copyright
When you submit a paper to us it is a condition that your contribution is original and that is has neither been published previously nor is currently being considered for publication elsewhere. You are asked to confirm this when you make the submission.
BJET is a member of CrossCheck by iThenticate. iThenticate is a plagiarism screening service that verifies the originality of content submitted before publication. The iThenticate software checks submissions against millions of published research papers, documents on the web, and other relevant sources. Authors, researchers and freelancers can also use the iThenticate system to screen their work before submission by visiting research.ithenticate.com.
As a matter of routine, BJET checks all of the work submitted for publication using iThenticate. This provides us with a report on material within your submission that has previously been published elsewhere - by yourself or by others.
If you have a similar paper under consideration or about to be published in another journal, please will you advise us in your covering letter and send a copy of that paper as an attachment in a separate email to the Editor (bjeteditor@wiley.com)
Permission requests for BJET are handled by Wiley via Rightslink. Further information can be found here. Authors are granted many reuse rights in their own work, but there are some restrictions. Authors are advised to read their signed copyright form for details.
If your contribution is accepted you will be asked to login in to Author Services and complete the appropriate license agreement via the Wiley Author Licensing Service or WALS. This simplifies the licensing process for you regardless of whether you are publishing ‘conventionally’ using usual license agreements or choosing OnlineOpen for ‘open access’ publication.
