Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism is using someone else’s work without properly any acknowledgment or citation. This is considered publication misconduct as it involves close imitation or complete copying of someone’s data, ideas, figures, tables, complete or parts of paragraphs, language and images, etc.

Self-plagiarism or Text recycling refers to the author reusing their work without proper citation. This is also considered malpractice and creates duplication of the data in the academic literature.

When citing others’ (or your own) previous work, please make sure you have:

• Mentioned the citations in your manuscript and acknowledged all the sources of your research.
• Added all the references in Reference Section.
• Obtained the copyright from people or publishers whose content has been relevantly used in your paper.

The editors and reviewers should notify the journal if plagiarism is identified. The Editorial Board will investigate any allegations or suspicions regarding plagiarism or self-plagiarism made to the journal.

If plagiarism is detected during the peer review process, the manuscript will be rejected, and if it is detected after publication, we will retract the paper.

Set Publishers reserve the right to inform the authors’ institutions about the detected plagiarism.
