Plagiarism Check

Ensuring Originality and Academic Integrity

Our journal is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity. To ensure the originality of all submitted manuscripts, we implement a rigorous plagiarism check process using advanced plagiarism detection software. This process helps us identify and address any instances of plagiarism, including both direct copying and inappropriate paraphrasing.

1. Plagiarism Detection Tools

We utilize industry-standard plagiarism detection tools to scan all submitted manuscripts. These tools compare the content of the manuscript against a vast database of academic papers, books, articles, and online sources to identify any similarities or instances of copied text.

2. Acceptable Similarity Index

While some similarity is expected due to common terminology and properly cited references, the similarity index for a manuscript should not exceed 20%. Manuscripts with a similarity index above this threshold will be reviewed further and may be returned to the authors for revision or rejection.

3. Authors' Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are original and properly cited. All sources of information must be appropriately referenced, and authors should avoid excessive quoting or close paraphrasing of previously published work. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in rejection of the manuscript.

4. Consequences of Plagiarism

Any manuscript found to contain plagiarism will be rejected immediately. If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article will be retracted, and the authors may be subject to further sanctions, including notification of their institution.

5. Ethical Compliance

By submitting a manuscript to our journal, authors agree to abide by the ethical guidelines set forth by the journal and affirm that their work is original and free from plagiarism. We are dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the academic record and will take all necessary actions to uphold these standards.
