Manuscripts submitted to the journal will be screened using similarity detection software. Submissions that indicate plagiarism or self-plagiarism will be subject to rejection.

The journal is committed to ensuring that all authors adhere to internationally recognized standards of academic integrity, particularly with regard to plagiarism.

Plagiarism refers to the use of ideas, information, or wording from other sources without proper acknowledgment. Whether intentional or unintentional, plagiarism constitutes a serious breach of academic ethics and is unacceptable in scholarly publications.

Whenever authors obtain specific information such as names, dates, locations, numerical data, or other detailed facts from a particular source, appropriate citation is required. An exception applies only to general knowledge, defined as information that is widely available from multiple sources or commonly known.

If an author adopts an idea from another work, proper citation is required even when the idea is further developed or reinterpreted. This includes ideas related to data interpretation, methodological choices, theoretical perspectives, or general developments within a field. In such cases, the original source should be cited, followed by an explanation of the author’s own contribution or extension of the idea.

When authors reproduce exact wording from another source, both citation and quotation marks are required. If four or more consecutive words are identical to the original source, quotation marks must be used to clearly indicate the use of another author’s exact language, as citation alone is insufficient.

The journal treats academic integrity with the utmost seriousness. The editorial team reserves the right to withdraw acceptance or take other appropriate actions if a manuscript is found to violate these ethical standards. Authors may contact the editorial office for further clarification regarding publication ethics.
