Plagiarism Policy

Documents must not contain any instances of plagiarism, fabrication, falsification or omission of material content.

Even though the work or idea is not directly quoted or paraphrased, the author is still obliged to explicitly quote the work and ideas of others. Regardless of whether or not the work was previously published, or whether or not the work is accessible electronically, these criteria still apply. Plagiarism can occur if sources are not properly cited. Plagiarism of all forms is prohibited as it represents unethical publishing behavior.

The author(s) must consent about the plagiarism issue, therefore the submitted paper should be free of plagiarism. The author has to check the indication of plagiarism using similarity checkers. Prior to publish in journal, the article will be rechecked by the editor using Ithenticate/Turnitin for checking the similarity, with a maximum similarity limit of 25%.
