Plagiarism Policy:
- Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying someone else's previously published ideas, processes, results, or words without explicit acknowledgement of the original author and source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author uses a substantial portion of their own previously published work without proper references. This can range from publishing the same manuscript in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with new data.
- The journal is against any unethical act of copying or plagiarism in any form.
- Members of the editorial board, scientific committee, and reviewers are required to be aware of all types of misconduct in order to identify papers in which research misconduct has occurred or appears to have occurred.
- All papers submitted for publication in the journal are checked for plagiarism using the internationally recognized program https://www.turnitin.com/. Papers found to be plagiarized during the early stages of review are immediately rejected.
- If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the editors take the necessary steps to address this, including restricting the author, withdrawing the entire paper, or disclosing and clarifying the plagiarism. - The journal requests that peers notify the journal if they discover plagiarism in the research they are reviewing, or if they express their suspicions.
- The percentage of plagiarism should not exceed 30% of the scientific material.
- If a published research is found to contain plagiarism, it will be removed, and the researcher will be suspended from publishing in the journal for three years.
