• PLAGIARISM POLICY

All the papers submitted have to pass through an initial screening and will be checked through the Advanced Plagiarism Dectection Software.




None of the part of manuscript is plagiarized from other sources.

Proper reference is provided for all contents extracted from other sources.

Strong action will be taken against cases of plagiarism.



• DUPLICATION OF TEXT AND/OR FIGURES

Plagiarism occurs when someone presents the work of others (data, text, or theories) as if it was his/her own without proper acknowledgment. There are different degrees of plagiarism.

The severity is dependent on various factors: extent of copied material, originality of copied material, position/context/type of material and referencing/attribution of the material used.

Every case is different and therefore decisions will vary per case. Ask yourself the following question: Does it concern an honest mistake or is there an intentional deviation from the scientific norm? Please note there are many grey areas between honest, questionable and fraudulent practices.
