Plagiarism Screening
All manuscripts submitted to the journal are screened for plagiarism to ensure the originality of the work. The journal uses plagiarism detection software, such as Turnitin, to evaluate the similarity of submitted manuscripts with previously published sources.
The acceptable similarity index is a maximum of 20%. Manuscripts with a similarity score higher than this threshold may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected. Authors are expected to properly cite all sources and ensure that their work is original.
The editorial team may conduct plagiarism checks at any stage of the editorial process. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, will be rejected or withdrawn from publication in accordance with the journal’s ethical standards.
