Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are strictly prohibited. Authors must ensure that the submitted manuscript is entirely original. If authors use the work and/or words of others, this must be properly acknowledged through appropriate citations or quotations.

In general, an author should not publish a manuscript that essentially describes the same research in more than one major journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors are required to cite publications that have significantly influenced the direction and content of the research being reported.

Screening Process

The Editorial Team manually reviews manuscripts using offline and online databases to ensure that citations and quotations are accurate.
The Editorial Team also screens all manuscripts using Turnitin. If plagiarism is detected at a level exceeding 25%, the manuscript will be immediately rejected by the editorial board.
