Policy of Plagiarism

To maintain the originality of all manuscripts, the editorial team screens submissions using Turnitin plagiarism detection software. Articles are expected to have a similarity index of no more than 20%. The check is conducted at the initial submission stage and repeated after revisions have been made based on reviewer feedback.

Manuscripts that meet this requirement will proceed to the next stage of the editorial process (review or publication). Those exceeding the threshold will be returned to the authors for correction.

In addition to Turnitin, editors may also perform manual searches via Google Scholar and other tools to ensure that submissions are free from plagiarism and have not been simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere.
