Plagiarism Policy

PLAGIARISM POLICY

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their works are original and properly acknowledge the sources of content that are not entirely their own. The journal employs plagiarism detection tools, such as Turnitin, to check articles for plagiarism, including reproducing content without appropriate attribution and permission. The inclusion of plagiarized content is regarded as misconduct on the part of the authors, and the journal takes such matters seriously.

The journal categorizes plagiarism into three levels, each with specific actions:

MINOR PLAGIARISM

Involves a short section of another article without significant data or ideas from the original paper.

Action: Authors receive a warning and are requested to revise the text with proper citation.
INTERMEDIATE PLAGIARISM

Occurs when a significant portion of a paper is plagiarized without proper citation to the source.

Action: Article rejected, authors prohibited from submitting for one year.
SEVERE PLAGIARISM

Involves a significant portion of a paper being plagiarized, including reproduction of original results or ideas.

Action: Article rejected, authors prohibited from submitting for five years.

Note: All plagiarism cases are taken seriously and handled according to the journal's ethical guidelines.
