Our journal requests a similarity report via plihal.net. When the full text file is uploaded in step 3 when the article is submitted, it will be sent to plihal.net. Preparation of the report may take time. For this reason, an e-mail will be sent to you when the process is completed. In the last step, you can complete the article submission according to your result report or repeat the process by going back to step 3. When you upload more than one file and receive a similarity report, all reports will be forwarded to the editor. A similarity report is requested for the manuscripts. The relevant similarity report should be obtained from Turnitin or iThenticate.
The overall similarity rate should not be above 15%. The similarity rate from a single source should be less than 3%.
