Our journal strives to maintain academic integrity in publishing. All manuscripts submitted will be screened for plagiarism as following:

  ·  The first submission of the manuscript

  ·  The finalized manuscript after peer review submitted from the authors

  ·  A manuscript will be rejected immediately if considered by the editorial office to be plagiarized or self-plagiarized. The plagiarism process will be conducted as follows:

  ·  The complainant contacts the editorial office of the journal in which the published article suspected of plagiarism appeared.

  ·  The complainant indicates which sections have been plagiarized by clearly referring to both the original and suspected articles.

  ·  The editorial office conducts an investigation, during which time the editor of the journal and the corresponding author(s) of the suspected article will be in contact.

  ·  The corresponding author(s) will be asked to provide an explanation.

  ·  If the author(s) of the suspected article accepts the complaint of plagiarism, an erratum or retraction is necessary to remedy the situation. However, there may still be a disagreement concerning the wording of the description.

  ·  In the case of nonresponse within the stipulated time or an unsatisfactory explanation, the article may be permanently retracted.
