Plagiarism Policy

 Plagiarism Screening (Editor's Responsibility)

The editor is responsible for ensuring that all submitted manuscripts undergo plagiarism screening using Turnitin. Every manuscript submitted to this journal will be checked for plagiarism twice:  first, at the initial submission stage before entering the peer review process, and second, prior to publication.

The similarity index must be below 20%, excluding the References section, for the manuscript to be considered for publication, to ensure academic integrity and originality. Manuscripts that exceed this threshold will be rejected or returned to the authors for revision.

If plagiarism is identified at any stage, including after publication, the editor reserves the right to take appropriate actions in accordance with publication ethics, including correction, retraction, or other necessary editorial measures.
