Plagiarism Policy

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from 'passing off' another's paper as the author's own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another's paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

The journal has a policy to screen every article for similarity index by using Turnitin. The overall similarity index should not be more than 19%, and a single source should not be more than 4%.  Authors are also required to ensure that the work they submit is the product of their own intellectual effort and the use of AI-generated content (including text, ideas, or any other material produced by AI tools) is strictly discouraged and is considered unethical which may lead to rejection of the manuscript.
