Abstract: Plagiarism is a very important and debated topic in this modern technological world , however, this issue has been explored by very few people. In every developed or developing country, the crime of plagiarism is committed. Of course, the proportion and intensity of this is higher in developing countries than in developed countries. Plagiarism occurs in many countries in different areas and types. Plagiarism can be of many kinds, but in short it is an unethical way of showing the works belonging to others as if they were his own. In Turkey, as in all the world, the number of master’s and doctoral graduates has increased in the last decade. When plagiarism is mentioned, people mostly think about plagiarism done by students, but academicians or authors are always ignored. In this study, we will examine the plagiarism policies of journals to which articles are submitted by academics and authors, and the importance that journals give to this subject. Every single journal has its own rules and regulations regarding its plagiarism policy, but the question is, are those policies enough to prevent plagiarism? If so, do they really implement their policies while publishing an article?
