Plagiarism is defined as the partial or complete use of another person’s ideas, data, methods, findings, visuals, tables, figures, or text without proper acknowledgment. Direct quotations, paraphrased passages, and translated content are also considered plagiarism if they are not properly cited.

• All submitted manuscripts may be screened using plagiarism and similarity detection software.
• The editorial board evaluates similarity reports not only by percentage but also by context and content quality.
• References, standard methodological expressions, and properly cited quotations are assessed separately.
• Manuscripts with high levels of unacceptable similarity may be rejected during the editorial preliminary review stage.

• Copying text directly from other works without proper citation
• Resubmitting another work with only minor modifications
• Reusing one’s own previously published work without proper citation (self-plagiarism)
• Using other researchers’ ideas, data, or visuals without permission or acknowledgment
• Presenting translated material as original work without citing the source

• Manuscripts suspected of plagiarism are subject to editorial review.
• Authors may be asked to provide an explanation where necessary.
• Depending on the severity of the violation, the manuscript may be rejected, retracted, or returned for correction.
• In cases of serious ethical misconduct, relevant institutions and affiliated organizations may be notified when appropriate.
