Plagiarism Policy 

The manuscripts are expected to be original and therefore, except for the cited parts, any part of the manuscripts should not have been published before. All of the sources used in the manuscript should be cited correctly and in accordance with the rules set out in the Author Guidelines, and should be included in the bibliography. The works that are not used should not be listed in the bibliography.

If plagiarism is suspected the associated flow charts of COPE are followed. 

Similarity Report

All research papers must be submitted with a similarity report from iThenticate or Turnitin. If it is not possible to obtain a similarity report for the research article to be sent to the journal, it is recommended to contact the Editorial Office before submission.

In the context of AndHD's plagiarism policy, a specific similarity rate has not been determined, and whether the manuscript will be accepted for evaluation is decided by the Editorial Board depending on the nature of the work and the status of the similarities detected in the report.
