Originality Check

All manuscripts submitted to the journal are checked using iThenticate or Turnitin software to ensure the originality of the research and its adherence to proper citation standards.

Similarity Percentage

The overall similarity percentage in the manuscript must not exceed 20%, according to the following guidelines:

• Citations from a single source: Less than 5%.
• Research Sections: Certain sections of the research, such as "References" and "Appendices," are excluded from the similarity calculation, due to their reliance on unified terminology and techniques.
• High Similarity: If the total similarity percentage exceeds 20% and plagiarism is proven, the research is immediately rejected.
• The author is asked to make substantial modifications if the percentage is high due to similarity in commonly used terms and sentences.
• Scientific Exceptions: Exceptions may be granted for certain research of a special nature if the allowed percentage is exceeded, after submitting a written, justified request to the Editor-in-Chief.

Recommendations for Authors

Use Similarity Detection Tools: Before submitting the research, it is advisable to check it using tools such as iThenticate or Turnitin.
Proper Citation: Ensure that all used sources are documented correctly, and avoid verbatim copying without placing the text within quotation marks.
Paraphrasing: When using information from other sources, paraphrase it in your own style while preserving the original meaning and referring to its source.
