Plagiarism Policy

  • Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are not allowed.
  • 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.
  • An author should not generally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals concurrently constitutes unacceptable publishing behaviour.
  • Proper acknowledgement of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the reported work.

Working Process:

  1. Editorial Team checking the manuscript on the offline and online databases manually (checking proper citation and quotation);
  2. The Editorial Team checks the manuscript using the Turnitin app. If plagiarism is found (more than 20%), the board will reject the manuscript immediately.
