The process of assessment of every journal is core to quality creation. GBR follows a three-step P’s policy:

Therefore, the Journal uses very well and widely accepted plagiarism detection tool(s). However, if required, the journal may call for a similarity report from the author at any point in time. All submitted manuscripts are first subjected to plagiarism check and then the publishing process commences. GBR being a university journal follows the University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines on (the promotion of academic integrity and prevention of plagiarism in higher educational institutions) regulations, 2018, under which any article having a similarity index above 10% would be rejected.
