The Editorial Board of Frontier Anthropology recognizes that plagiarism is unethical and unacceptable. To uphold academic integrity, the journal enforces the following policy regarding originality and text similarity for all submitted manuscripts.
Similarity Screening
Frontier Anthropology uses Turnitin originality-checking software to screen all incoming manuscripts and final versions prior to publication.

• A maximum similarity index of 20% is permitted for submitted papers.

• If a manuscript exceeds the 20% similarity threshold, it will be returned to the corresponding author for revision and resubmission before undergoing peer review.
  

Original Work and Proper Attribution
All work submitted for publication in Frontier Anthropology must be completely original.

• Contributions must not be copied in whole or in part from other sources.

• Authors must explicitly identify and credit the original author and source for any data, text, or material taken verbatim or paraphrased from another work, regardless of whether that source is published, unpublished, or open-access.

• All external ideas, ethnographic accounts, and scholarly works must be properly cited both within the main text and in the reference list.

• Submitted articles and book chapters must not have been previously accepted for publication, nor may they be under simultaneous consideration by any other journal or edited volume.
  

Redundant Publication and Self-Plagiarism
Verbatim or substantial copying of an author’s own previously published or currently submitted work is strictly prohibited.

• Any text, figures, or data that have appeared in another work by the author must be clearly disclosed at the time of submission.

• While primary anthropological data or fieldwork findings may be examined across different research contexts, the central theme, analysis, discussion, and conclusions of every manuscript submitted to Frontier Anthropology must be genuinely original.
