Anti-plagiarism policy

The journal ensures that all published academic articles are original, unpublished, and have not been previously disseminated in any format—either in whole or in part—and are not under consideration by any other journal or publication outlet.

To uphold this standard, the journal employs advanced plagiarism detection tools, including Crossref Similarity Check (iThenticate), Turnitin, and Plag.es. Additional tools such as DupliChecker, Plagium, and Copyscape may also be used when necessary.

Plagiarism screening is conducted prior to the peer review process. If a manuscript shows a similarity index exceeding 20%, the authors will be notified via email and provided with the full similarity report along with an editorial assessment. Authors will have the opportunity to respond and clarify the findings. If the journal determines that the overlap constitutes plagiarism, the manuscript will be rejected without further evaluation.

To support authors in preparing their submissions, editors may recommend online plagiarism-checking tools that authors can use to assess their work before submission.
