Plagiarism Policy

Maintaining originality, academic integrity, and responsible use of scholarly sources.

Plagiarism Screening

Journal screens all submitted manuscripts using plagiarism-detection software (ex. Turnitin) as an integral part of its quality-control and publication-ethics procedures.

The screening process is conducted to help ensure the originality, authenticity, and academic integrity of manuscripts submitted for publication.

25% Maximum Similarity Threshold

The maximum acceptable similarity level is 25% . Manuscripts exceeding this threshold, or manuscripts found to contain plagiarism or other forms of inappropriate textual reuse, may be rejected without proceeding to the subsequent stages of the publication process.

Plagiarism and Originality Principles

1. Originality

Submitted manuscripts must represent original scholarly work and should not contain plagiarized material.

2. Proper Attribution

Ideas, statements, data, quotations, and other materials derived from external sources must be appropriately cited and acknowledged.

3. Authenticity

Authors are responsible for ensuring that the content, data, findings, and materials presented in their manuscripts are authentic.

4. Responsible Citation

Authors must accurately identify and acknowledge the sources used in developing their manuscripts.

Author Responsibility

Authors bear full responsibility for the originality and authenticity of their submissions.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all submitted content is original, authentic, appropriately cited, and properly attributed. Any use of ideas, text, data, figures, or other materials originating from other sources must be acknowledged in accordance with accepted academic citation practices.

Editorial Action

Manuscripts that exceed the established similarity threshold or are found to contain plagiarism may be rejected without proceeding to further publication stages.

The Journal may consider the results of plagiarism screening together with the editorial assessment and other relevant evidence when determining the appropriate course of action.
