  1. References, and Citations
  • Adhere to the journal's or publication's preferred citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). It is the policy of this journal to use automated software, like ZOTERO, and  MENDELEY Reference Management Software in all submitted manuscripts.
  • Make that every in-text citation follows the guidelines in the references section and is structured correctly.
  1. Plagiarism Check

The authors should make sure that all of the information they provide is true and original. It is the policy of this journal to use automated software, like TURNITIN to check for plagiarism in all submitted manuscripts. This journal can not accept any plagiarism in any manuscripts or it will be rejected immediately. The manuscript is passed if the similarity is less than 25%. The results of this automated detection are forwarded to the Section Editor and will serve as the preliminary check for plagiarism. Plagiarism may also be identified during the review process by the technical reviewers assigned to the manuscript. Final plagiarism will be done after the author finalizes their reviewed manuscript.

The following types of plagiarism :

  • Full Plagiarism:Previously published content without any changes to the text, idea and grammar is considered as full plagiarism. It involves presenting exact text from a source as one's own.
  • Partial Plagiarism:If content is a mixture from multiple different sources, where the author has extensively rephrased text, then it is known as partial plagiarism.
  • Self-Plagiarism: When an author reuses complete or portions of their pre-published research, then it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism is a case when an author republishes their own previously published work in a new journal.
  1. Sending in Your Writing

As directed by the publication, send your manuscript using the online submission system. Make sure the submission package contains all required documents.

  1. Evaluation Procedure
  • Manuscripts that are submitted will go through a peer review procedure.

  1. Permissions and Rights

  1. Additional Guidelines
  • Each author must make a significant contribution to the writing and research process. Each author's contribution needs to be made explicit.
