Screening for Plagiarism

By submitting a manuscript, the author(s) acknowledge that the submitted work complies with the Publication Ethics of the journal and accept ethical responsibility for the article. Each author is equally responsible for the article content.

All submitted manuscripts are screened with the iThenticate® plagiarism detection software before they are sent to the referees. If plagiarism or self-plagiarism is detected, the manuscript is not evaluated. The similarity rate should be at most 25%, excluding references.
