Definition of Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the act of presenting another person's work, ideas, or words as one's own without proper attribution. It includes, but is not limited to, copying, reinterpreting, or rewriting content from published or unpublished sources, including articles, books, websites, or any other medium, without citing the original source.

Originality and Attribution: Authors submitting articles to our journal are required to ensure the originality of their work. All sources, including direct quotations, ideas, data, images, or any other form of intellectual property originating from external sources, must be properly cited and attributed. Attribution must be done through accurate citation and reference styles consistent with the journal's guidelines.

Self-plagiarism: Authors are also required to avoid self-plagiarism, that is, reusing significant portions of their own previously published work without proper attribution. If an author needs to include material in their previously published work, they must clearly cite the source and seek permission if necessary.

Plagiarism detection: To ensure the integrity of the publishing process, our journal uses plagiarism detection software to screen submissions. All manuscripts undergo a thorough plagiarism check. Any detected instances of plagiarism will be dealt with and may result in serious consequences, including rejection of the submission or retraction of the published article.

Consequences of plagiarism: If plagiarism is detected in a submitted manuscript, the following measures may be taken:

The manuscript may be rejected or returned to the author for revision and proper attribution.

Authors may be required to provide explanations or clarifications regarding similarities identified with other works.

In cases of serious plagiarism, the manuscript may be rejected and the author may be banned from submitting to the journal in the future.

If plagiarism is detected in a published article, the article may be retracted and appropriate notices will be sent.

Reporting Plagiarism: We encourage readers, reviewers, and other interested individuals to report any suspected cases of plagiarism to the journal's editorial board. These reports will be handled confidentially and appropriate measures will be taken to address the issue.

Maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and promoting original research is essential to the academic community. We are committed to combating plagiarism and protecting the integrity of the journal.
