Screening Plagiarism

Plagiarism Screening Policy

All submitted manuscripts will be screened for plagiarism using plagiarism detection software, including Turnitin, before entering the review process. The editorial team examines the similarity index of each manuscript to ensure its originality and to maintain academic integrity.

The maximum allowed similarity index is 20%. Manuscripts with a similarity level above this threshold may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected, depending on the nature and extent of the overlap. Plagiarism in any form, including self-plagiarism, improper citation, paraphrasing without acknowledgment, and unattributed quotation, is not tolerated.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are original, properly cited, and free from plagiarism. The journal is committed to upholding ethical standards in scholarly publishing and maintaining the credibility of the academic record.
