Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism Policy

The journal is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and publication ethics. All manuscripts submitted to the journal must be original works and free from plagiarism.

Each submitted manuscript will be screened for plagiarism using plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin or other similar tools. Manuscripts that are found to contain plagiarism, including but not limited to direct plagiarism, self-plagiarism, excessive similarity, data fabrication, or improper citation, will be rejected immediately.

The acceptable similarity index is a maximum of 20%, excluding references, quotations, and commonly used phrases. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources are properly cited and acknowledged in accordance with academic standards.

If plagiarism is detected at any stage of the publication process—before or after publication—the editorial board reserves the right to take appropriate action, including manuscript rejection, retraction of published articles, and notification to the author’s affiliated institution.

By submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors agree to comply with this plagiarism policy and accept the editorial decisions related to plagiarism screening.
