Plagiarism Policy

• Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are strictly prohibited.
• Authors must ensure that their works are entirely original. If any content or wording from other sources is used, it must be appropriately cited or quoted.
• Generally, authors should not publish manuscripts that describe essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.
• Proper acknowledgment of the contributions of others is essential. Authors should cite publications that have significantly influenced the nature of the reported work.

Working Process:

• The Editorial Team will manually check manuscripts against offline and online databases to ensure proper citation and quotation.
• The Editorial Team will utilise Turnitin to check manuscripts for plagiarism. If plagiarism is indicated at a rate of more than 25%, the board will reject the manuscript immediately.
