    Plagiarism includes using others’ work, ideas, text, images, or data without proper attribution, including:

  • Copying text or ideas without citation.

  • Using figures, graphs, or data without permission.

  • Paraphrasing without acknowledging the source.

    All manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection tools to ensure originality.

  2. Author Responsibility

Duplicate Publication Policy

Redundant Publication Policy

    Redundant publication, or “salami slicing,” involves splitting one study into multiple papers with minor differences.

  2. Submission Guidelines
    Authors should submit manuscripts with substantial new findings.
