Plagiarism Policy
The journal is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and originality in scholarly publishing. All manuscripts submitted to the journal must be the original work of the authors and must not contain plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, data falsification, or inappropriate image manipulation.
Every submitted manuscript may be screened using plagiarism detection software before peer review and again before publication, if necessary. Manuscripts found to contain significant plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate submission, or other forms of academic misconduct may be rejected immediately or returned to the authors for clarification or revision.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources are properly cited and that any text, figures, tables, or other copyrighted materials taken from previously published works are used with appropriate permission and acknowledgment. Direct quotations must be clearly identified and referenced.
If plagiarism or other research misconduct is discovered before publication, the manuscript will be rejected. If such misconduct is identified after publication, the journal may issue a correction, expression of concern, or retraction and may notify the authors' affiliated institutions or funding agencies when appropriate.
The journal has zero tolerance for academic misconduct and reserves the right to investigate all suspected cases of plagiarism in accordance with established editorial procedures. By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that their work is original, has not been published elsewhere, is not under consideration by another journal, and complies with the journal's ethical and publication standards.
