Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism is an unethical act of copying another person's previous ideas, processes, results, or words without clearly indicating the original author and source. Self-plagiarism is when an author uses a large portion of their own previously published work without proper references. This can range from publishing the same article in multiple journals to modifying a previously published article with some new data.

Our journal scans all submitted articles to prevent plagiarism. Submitted works are checked for plagiarism using Turnitin or iThenticate software. A similarity rate of less than 25% is expected. The main measure of similarity is the author's compliance with citation and quotation rules. Even if the similarity rate appears to be 1%, plagiarism may still be involved if citations and quotations are not done properly.
