Plagiarism Policy

The following rules are accepted by all authors submitting articles.

1. A similarity check report generated by the iThenticate/Turnitin tool must be uploaded to the system for each article submitted for publication in our journal. The author bears primary responsibility for this procedure.
2. The editor may do a similarity assessment utilizing the similarity tool at any point in the process. This method operates independently of the author's submission of the similarity check report to the system via the appropriate software.
3. Articles exhibiting an overall similarity rate over 15% are returned to the author without undergoing the peer-review process. Authors may revise and resubmit the manuscript within three weeks.
4. The similarity rate from an individual source must not exceed 3%.
5. Editors may conduct similarity assessments during or subsequent to the peer-review process.
6. Irrespective of the similarity rate, any phrase or segment of similarities extracted from a source without proper citation will be returned to the author and excluded from assessment.
