Plagiarism Policy

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works. If the authors have used others' work and/or words, this has been appropriately cited or quoted. The act of plagiarism occurs when the author presents another paper as the author's own paper, copies or paraphrases critical parts of another paper (without attribution), or to claim the results of research carried out by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

  1. A manuscript must be original and not being considered for publication by any other journal or publisher. This is done through a waiver of copyrights to the publisher and a statement about plagiarism filled in by the author.
  2. Articles are reviewed by peer review teams who are competent in their field to control plagiarism.
