Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying another person's previous ideas, processes, results, or words without explicitly acknowledging the original author and source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author uses a significant portion of their previously published work without appropriate referencing. This can range from publishing the same manuscript in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with some new data.  

The Journal is against any unethical act of copying or plagiarism in any form.  

Editorial board members, the 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 research submitted for publication in the Journal is checked for plagiarism using the internationally recognized plagiarism checker x software, and the citation rate should not exceed 25%. Research found to be plagiarized during the initial stages of review will be rejected immediately.

If published research is proven to contain plagiarism, it will be removed, and the author will be banned from publishing in the Journal for a period of three years.

Types of Plagiarism:

• Complete Plagiarism (Full Plagiarism): Previously published content without any changes to the text, idea, or rules is considered complete plagiarism. It involves presenting an exact text from a source as one's own.

• Partial Plagiarism: If the content is a mixture of multiple different sources, where the author has extensively rephrased the text, it is known as partial plagiarism.

• Self-Plagiarism: When an author reuses all or parts of their previously published research, it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism is a case where an author republishes their previously published work in a new journal.
