Plagiarism Screening
All submitted manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection software to evaluate originality and similarity prior to peer review. Authors are expected to ensure that their submissions are entirely original and properly cited.
Author Responsibility
Authors must confirm that their submitted work is original, has not been published previously, and is not under consideration elsewhere. Proper acknowledgment of the work, ideas, and contributions of others is mandatory.
Definition of Plagiarism
Plagiarism includes the use of ideas, text, data, tables, figures, images, graphical material, or research findings from other sources without appropriate citation, acknowledgment, or permission. This also includes self-plagiarism, where authors reuse their own previously published material without proper disclosure or citation.
Citation and Attribution
Any material taken directly from another source must be appropriately cited. Verbatim text should be clearly identified using quotation marks or suitable formatting, and all borrowed content must be properly referenced.
Self-Plagiarism and Prior Publication
Reuse of content from theses, dissertations, working papers, conference proceedings, preprints, or previously published work must be properly cited and disclosed during submission.
Figures, Tables, and Illustrations
Reproduction or adaptation of figures, charts, tables, images, radiological scans, clinical photographs, or illustrations from previously published sources without appropriate citation, acknowledgment, or permission is considered plagiarism and may violate copyright laws.
Disclosure Requirements
Authors must disclose any significant overlap between the submitted manuscript and previously published or submitted work in the cover letter provided to the editor.
