Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is when an author reproduces another work without the appropriate citation and credit. Plagiarism, whether intentional or not, is a serious violation of ethics. Duplicate submission/publication occurs when two or more papers without full cross-reference, share the same hypothesis, data, discussion and conclusion. The Journal systematically employs iThenticate, which is a plagiarism detection and prevention software designed to be used to ensure the originality of written work before publication. iThenticate compares more than 110 million content items to identify potentially similar articles. Sanctions may be applied to individual authors and in serious cases the manuscript will be retracted and the Journal will refuse to accept submissions from the same authors.
