Each manuscript is checked for plagiarism before the peer review stage. Editors may resubmit the manuscript for similarity checks at any stage of review or production, if required.
The similarity check report is analyzed separately for each manuscript using COPE flowcharts, if used. If plagiarism / self-plagiarism is found, the authors will be informed. Overlaps cannot be considered plagiarism in the methods section if the description of the methods is common to this type of research.
The editorial office of the journal analyzes any case of plagiarism on the merits. If plagiarism or textual borrowings are discovered by editors or reviewers at any stage before the publication of the manuscript, the author (s) are warned to review and correct the text, or to provide a reference to the original source. If the plagiarism is more than 25%, the article can be rejected.
If plagiarism is detected in an already published scientific paper / article, such research will be removed from the website and open access with a note about detected plagiarism.
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission for copyright to use illustrations, tables, drawings taken from other authors and / or sources. The permit must be placed under each such element.
