Plagiarism Policy

The Journal is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and takes a strict stance against all forms of plagiarism and research misconduct.

1. Definition of Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying ideas, processes, results, or words from others without explicit acknowledgment of the original author and source. This includes Self-Plagiarism, where an author reuses significant portions of their previously published work without proper citation.

2. Screening and Acceptance Threshold:

• All submitted manuscripts are screened using the internationally recognized (Plagiarism Checker X) software.

• The maximum allowable similarity index is 25%.

• Manuscripts found to be plagiarized during the initial review stages will be rejected immediately.

3. Types of Plagiarism Monitored:

• Full Plagiarism: Presenting a previously published work in its entirety (text, idea, and structure) as new and original.

• Partial Plagiarism: Merging content from multiple sources with extensive paraphrasing while failing to attribute the original sources.

• Self-Plagiarism: Reusing parts of one's own previously published research or republishing the same manuscript in a different journal.

4. Sanctions and Penalties: If plagiarism is proven in a published article, the journal will:

• Immediately withdraw/retract the article from the journal’s website and indexing databases.

• Suspend the author from publishing in the journal for a period of three consecutive years.
