• Any manuscript exceeding this threshold or showing signs of unattributed copying will be returned to the author for revision or rejected outright.

Types of Plagiarism Considered Unacceptable

• Direct Plagiarism: Copying text word-for-word without quotation or proper citation.

• Self-Plagiarism: Reusing substantial parts of the author's own published work without proper attribution.

• Mosaic Plagiarism: Borrowing phrases from various sources and blending them into one’s own work without citation.

• Improper Paraphrasing: Rewriting someone's work with minor changes without proper attribution.

Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are free from plagiarism. By submitting a manuscript to this journal, authors confirm that the work is original and has not been plagiarized in whole or in part.

• Rejection of the manuscript

• Retraction of a published article

• Notification to the author’s institution
