Plagiarism Policy
Screening Plagiarism
- Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are not allowed;
- Authors must ensure that they have written a completely original piece of work, and if the author has used the work and words of others, that this has been appropriately cited;
- An author should not generally publish a manuscript describing the same research in multiple journals or primary publications.
- Proper acknowledgement of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite influential publications to determine the nature of the reported work.
Work Process: (1) The editorial team manually checks the manuscript against offline and online databases (checking for citations and proper citation); (2) The Editorial Team checks the manuscript using the Turnitin application. If any indication of plagiarism is found (more than 20%), the manuscript will be rejected immediately.
