All submitted manuscripts are screened for similarity using Turnitin before being sent for peer review or prior to publication. The maximum acceptable similarity index is 25%. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected, depending on the extent and nature of the similarities identified.
The similarity report is evaluated by the editorial team. A similarity score below the threshold does not automatically guarantee the absence of plagiarism, as all manuscripts must also meet the journal's standards for academic integrity and publication ethics.
