PLAGIARISM POLICY

Commitment to Academic Integrity

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

Plagiarism Screening

All manuscripts submitted to the journal will undergo a plagiarism screening process before being sent for peer review. The editorial team uses plagiarism detection software to identify potential similarity 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.

Similarity Threshold

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.

Post-Publication Plagiarism

If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the editorial board will investigate the case carefully. 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.

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