It is agreed upon by submitting the work to the journal that it is an original work that has not been published or is pending consideration elsewhere. The journal does not accept plagiarism or the partial or whole reproduction of publications without appropriate reference. Anti-plagiarism software must be used to verify the originality of manuscripts submitted to the journal.

Academic dishonesty takes the form of plagiarism, which is regarded as a major infraction. The authors should submit the updated version if plagiarism is found in at least 25% of the work. It is acceptable for authors to make the necessary changes and resubmit the work. The manuscript will be rejected without review if plagiarism is found in excess of 30% of it.

In the event that plagiarism is discovered after publication, the Journal will investigate it. The author's funding agencies and university/institute will be contacted by the editorial office. The retraction of the manuscript is contingent upon the degree of plagiarism.
