Plagiarism Policy

• Submitted articles must be completely original works.
• If the work and/or words of others are used, ensure that they are properly cited.
• Quoting someone else's article as your own should be avoided.
• Do not copy or paraphrase important parts of someone else's article without attribution.
• Any form of plagiarism constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
• In case of plagiarism in the article, the author or authors are responsible.
