سياسة الانتحال

Originality Requirement
Submitted manuscripts must be original, properly cited, and not under consideration elsewhere. The journal does not accept plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated data, falsified analysis, manipulated images, or unethical authorship practices.
Similarity Screening
The journal may screen manuscripts using similarity detection tools before or during peer review. A similarity percentage alone does not determine misconduct. Editors assess the source, nature, location, and significance of overlapping text.
Examples of Unacceptable Overlap
  • Copying text, tables, figures, images, or ideas without proper citation.
  • Reusing large portions of the authors’ previously published work without citation and justification.
  • Submitting the same or substantially similar manuscript to more than one journal.
  • Splitting one study into multiple papers without transparent cross-reference and scientific justification.
  • Using AI or paraphrasing tools to hide copied or improperly reused material.
Editorial Action
  1. Request clarification or revision for minor citation or quotation concerns.
  2. Reject the manuscript for serious overlap, duplicate publication, or confirmed misconduct.
  3. Contact the authors’ institution, funder, or ethics committee when serious misconduct is suspected and action is appropriate.
  4. Publish a correction, expression of concern, or retraction for confirmed post-publication issues when necessary.
