Screening for Plagiarism

All submitted manuscripts are screened for textual similarity using Turnitin or Plagiarism Detector.

Authors are expected to cite, quote, and paraphrase sources appropriately. Similarity reports are evaluated in context rather than solely by numerical percentage. Manuscripts with an unacceptable similarity level, including substantial unattributed copying or inappropriate text recycling, may be returned for revision or rejected.

A similarity level in the range of approximately 15–20% may be considered unacceptable when the overlap reflects substantive plagiarism or inappropriate duplication.
