Plagiarism Check
All manuscripts submitted to the journal are mandatorily screened with iThenticate to verify originality, prevent plagiarism, and ensure strict adherence to proper citation practices before peer review.
Similarity Ratio Guidelines
The overall similarity of the manuscript must not exceed 20%, according to the following rules:
- Single Source: Similarity from any single source must be less than 5%.
- Excluded Sections: Certain sections, such as "References" and "Appendices," are excluded from the calculation due to standardized terminology and formats.
- High Similarity (Plagiarism): If the overall similarity exceeds 20% due to confirmed plagiarism, the manuscript will be automatically rejected.
- High Similarity (Common Phrases): If high similarity is due to technical terminology, the author will be requested to make substantial revisions.
- Scientific Exceptions: Exceptions may be granted for research on special subjects, provided a written justification is submitted to the Editor-in-Chief.
