Similarity and AI

The journal is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. All submitted manuscripts are subjected to a similarity check using Turnitin’s similarity check software to identify potential instances of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or excessive similarity with previously published works. Authors are strongly advised to ensure proper citation and originality of their submissions prior to submission.

Authors must include a clear statement regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools during the preparation of their manuscript. While AI-based tools can assist in language editing or formatting, authors remain fully responsible for the content, accuracy, and integrity of the manuscript. Any use of AI must be appropriately disclosed in the acknowledgments or a dedicated statement within the manuscript. The journal reserves the right to reject or request revision of any submission that fails to comply with these guidelines.
