The Zouq-E-Noor Journal of Religious and Social Studies (Zouq-E-Noor) maintains an extremely strict policy regarding plagiarism and academic misconduct. Zouq-E-Noor will not accept any plagiarized articles for publication.

Key Points:

• Pre-submission Responsibility: All authors/researchers are strongly requested to check their respective articles for plagiarism and ensure proper citation of all sources before submitting the manuscript for publication.

• Consequences: If a submitted manuscript is found to be plagiarized at any stage, the author(s) will be fully responsible and will be subjected to penalties as per HEC rules. This may result in the immediate rejection of the article and may lead to a permanent ban on all responsible authors from publishing any future work with Zouq-E-Noor.

• Detection Process: All received manuscripts will be vigorously checked for plagiarism as part of the initial screening process, in line with the journal's Copyrights and Plagiarism Policy. We utilize advanced plagiarism detection software to screen submissions thoroughly before forwarding the manuscripts for the formal peer-review process.
