All submitted abstracts and manuscripts will be subjected to a “Similarity Check” using a licensed version of iThenticate: Plagiarism Detection Software. Articles achieving a minimal similarity index (less than 10%) alone will be examined, and those deemed unacceptable will be rejected or withdrawn without a formal review. Submissions should also ensure less than 2% similarity from a single source.
Authors are requested to refrain from plagiarism in any form. They should submit their original and unpublished research work, which is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts with a higher similarity index will be rejected during any review stage. As per the copyright transfer agreement, authors are deemed individually and collectively responsible for the content of manuscripts published by them. Hence, it is the responsibility of each author to strive for the highest ethical standards concerning plagiarism.
