Plagiarism and Similarity Screening

Plagiarism and Similarity Screening Policy


All submitted manuscripts may undergo similarity screening using appropriate software, including Turnitin and/or iThenticate, according to the journal's available resources and procedures.



Initial Screening Guidelines:



  • Overall Similarity Index: maximum 20%

  • Single Source Match: maximum 3%

  • Bibliographic references may be excluded from the similarity calculation where appropriate.



Editorial Assessment:

Similarity percentages are screening indicators and do not automatically constitute evidence of plagiarism. Editors assess the sources and context of detected similarities. A manuscript with substantial inappropriate similarity, plagiarism, or unattributed textual reuse may be returned for revision or rejected depending on the severity of the issue. The similarity threshold does not replace editorial judgment.
