  1. Prevention of Plagiarism

Researchers and institutions should focus on preventing plagiarism by taking the following steps:

  • Proper citation of sources: All quotations, references, and sources should be accurately and fully cited.

  • Plagiarism detection: Researchers and institutions should scan their written works for elements of plagiarism and should make sure to disclose the results to us when submitting an article. Articles with a similarity index of more than 25% will be rejected and authors will be informed.
