Journal Policy

1. Publication Ethics

This journal is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against publication malpractice. All parties involved in the publication process — authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher — must adhere to ethical standards based on internationally recognized best practices, including principles promoted by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The journal does not tolerate plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, duplicate publication, or unethical research practices. Any violation of publication ethics will result in appropriate action, including manuscript rejection, retraction, or notification to relevant institutions.

2. Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure academic quality and relevance.

The journal applies a double-blind peer review system, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous.
Each manuscript is initially screened by the editorial team for scope, format, and ethical compliance.
Suitable manuscripts are reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.
Based on reviewers’ recommendations, the editor may decide to accept, request revision (minor or major), or reject the manuscript.
The editorial decision is final.

3. Plagiarism Screening Policy

All submissions are screened using plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin or similar tools).

Manuscripts must be original and properly cite all sources.
Excessive similarity may result in immediate rejection.
Proven plagiarism after publication will result in retraction.
