To ensure publication ethics, AYDIN GASTRONOMY regularly screens all submitted manuscripts for plagiarism. Every manuscript uploaded to the journal is checked using iThenticate or Turnitin plagiarism detection software before the peer-review process begins.
- Acceptable Similarity Index: Excluding bibliography, quotes, and matches of less than 5 words, the total similarity rate of the manuscript must be below 20%.
- The similarity rate from a single source must not exceed 3%.
- Manuscripts that exceed the similarity limit or exhibit clear plagiarism are rejected immediately without being sent for peer-review, or returned to the author for necessary revisions.
