Plagiarisme

To uphold academic integrity and ensure that all submitted and published articles are free from plagiarism, the Editorial Team checks manuscript similarity levels using the web-based software Turnitin. The acceptable similarity threshold is set within the range of 25–30%, in accordance with the journal's quality standards.

These checks are conducted upon the author's initial submission and again during the revision stage or after the manuscript has been amended based on reviewers' feedback and recommendations.

Manuscripts meeting the journal's similarity criteria proceed to the next stage, whether that involves peer review or publication. Conversely, if the similarity level exceeds the established limit or indications of plagiarism are detected, the author will be required to revise the manuscript and resubmit it for further review.

In addition to using Turnitin, the Editorial Team may conduct further verification via  Google Scholar and other supporting sources or tools. These checks aim to verify the manuscript's originality, prevent plagiarism, and ensure that the article has not been submitted to or published in another journal or scholarly outlet (thereby avoiding double submission or duplicate publication).
