Plagiarism Policy

Originality and Plagiarism: The submitted work must be original and prepared in accordance with the publication requirements. There should be no plagiarism. If it is a work produced from a thesis, it must maintain its originality, be properly cited and indicated in the footnote. Articles with a similarity rate of less than 20% are evaluated.

Article Authorship: Authorship should be limited to those who made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution or interpretation of the work. All significant contributors should be listed as co-authors. The corresponding author should ensure that all eligible co-authors (as defined above) are included in the author list of the manuscript and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript. All authors must agree to submit the manuscript for publication.

Multiple, Redundant or Simultaneous Publication: The article must not have been published or submitted for publication in another journal or platform. An author should generally not publish articles describing the same research in more than one journal. Submitting the same article to multiple journals at the same time constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Manuscript standards: Authors reporting the results of original research should provide an accurate description of the work done as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data should be accurately represented in the dossier. A study must contain sufficient details and references. Fraudulent or deliberate misrepresentations constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
