Plagiarism Prevention and Handling Policy

The editorial team of our journal is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and actively works to prevent both scholarly and professional plagiarism at all stages of the publication process. Prior to initiating peer review, all submitted manuscripts undergo rigorous screening using Turnitin, a leading plagiarism detection software, to identify instances of text duplication and verify proper citation practices.

Manuscripts that demonstrate substantial overlap with previously published work without appropriate attribution will be immediately rejected and returned to the authors with an explanation of the findings. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism, as it undermines academic credibility and violates ethical publishing standards.

In cases where plagiarism is detected after publication, our editorial team will take swift action in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines and our Publishing Malpractice Policy. Depending on the severity of the infringement, corrective measures may include issuing a formal correction, retracting the article, or imposing restrictions on future submissions by the involved authors.

We strongly encourage our readers, reviewers, and fellow editors to report any suspected cases of plagiarism or unethical publishing practices. Concerns can be directed to our editorial office via email at [email protected], where they will be confidentially reviewed and addressed with the utmost seriousness.

By fostering a culture of transparency and accountability, we aim to preserve the integrity of scholarly communication and ensure that all published work meets the highest ethical standards.
