Plagiarism Policy

This journal is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and publication ethics. All submitted manuscripts must be original works that have not been previously published and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Plagiarism in any form including self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, or improper citation of sources is considered unethical and unacceptable in this journal.

All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo a plagiarism screening process before being sent for peer review. The editorial team uses plagiarism detection software to identify potential similarities with previously published works.

Manuscripts with a high level of similarity may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected depending on the severity of the overlap.

The journal applies a similarity threshold to ensure originality of submissions. Generally, manuscripts should not exceed 25% similarity, excluding references, quotations, and commonly used terminology.

If significant plagiarism is detected at any stage of the publication process, the manuscript will be rejected and appropriate action may be taken according to the journal’s publication ethics policy.

If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the editorial board will conduct a thorough investigation.

Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the journal may issue a correction, retraction, or removal of the article in accordance with international publication ethics standards.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are free from plagiarism and that all sources of information are properly cited. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be provided.
