Plagiarism Screening and AI Policy

The journal is committed to maintaining academic integrity and publication ethics in accordance with the COPE Core Practices.

 

Plagiarism Screening

All submitted manuscripts are screened for originality using plagiarism detection software prior to peer review. Manuscripts must demonstrate a high level of originality and proper academic attribution.

The editorial board evaluates similarity reports qualitatively; similarity scores are not used as the sole criterion for acceptance or rejection. Manuscripts containing unacknowledged duplication, inappropriate copying, or self-plagiarism may be rejected at any stage of the review process.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources are properly cited and that all paraphrased or quoted materials are clearly acknowledged.

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

The journal recognizes the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools in academic writing. However, AI tools (such as language models, translation tools, or text generators) cannot be listed as authors or co-authors.

Authors must take full responsibility for the content of their manuscripts, including any material generated or assisted by AI tools.

If AI tools are used in any part of the research or writing process, authors are required to disclose this clearly in the manuscript, including the name of the tool and its purpose.

The use of AI must not involve:

1. fabrication or falsification of data,
2. generation of inaccurate references,
3. or replacement of author intellectual contribution.

The editorial board reserves the right to evaluate AI-assisted content and may request clarification or revision where necessary.
