Plagiarism is the unethical practice of using another person’s ideas, words, or work without proper attribution. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Copying verbatim text without citation.

  • Paraphrasing without crediting the original source.

  • Using figures, tables, or data without appropriate acknowledgment.

  • Self-plagiarism (reusing one's own previously published work without proper citation or justification).

2.2. Plagiarism Detection

  • All submitted manuscripts undergo plagiarism screening using reputable plagiarism detection software.

  • Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding the journal’s acceptable threshold may be rejected or returned for revision.

2.3. Consequences of Plagiarism

If plagiarism is detected at any stage of the publication process:

  • Before publication: The manuscript will be rejected, and the author may be banned from submitting to the journal in the future.

  • After publication: The paper may be retracted, and a retraction notice will be issued.

  • In minor cases: Authors may be given a chance to revise and properly cite sources if the plagiarism is unintentional.

2.4. Author Responsibilities

  • Ensure that all sources are properly cited and acknowledged.

  • Use quotation marks for direct quotes and provide appropriate citations.

  • Obtain permissions for any copyrighted material used in the manuscript.

  • Declare any overlapping content with previously published work.

By submitting a manuscript, authors acknowledge their understanding and agreement with this plagiarism policy.
