Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submitted manuscripts are original and free from plagiarism. Prior to submission, authors are encouraged to screen their manuscripts using an appropriate similarity-checking tool. All articles accepted for publication will be rechecked by the editorial team using Turnitin/iThenticate to assess textual similarity. The journal applies a maximum similarity threshold of 25%. Manuscripts that exceed this threshold may be returned to the authors for clarification, revision, or further editorial consideration.
