As part of your selection process, and before you extend an offer to publish, you should run every piece you are considering through a plagiarism-checking program.
Journal Login information for iThenticate is below.
Use your best judgment when considering pieces that are flagged by iThenticate. It is much easier to not accept a piece that has the potential to cause problems than it is to deal with these kinds of problems after an author has signed an agreement.
