The submitted articles are examined with plagiarism detection software. Currently, iThenticate (©) software is used for this purpose. In order to avoid false determinations resulting from the use of terminology and the references, the ‘Bibliography’ section, single word matches and similarity determinations of 2% or less are excluded from the article during the analysis.

If the similarity rate of the article is less than 25%, then the article is considered passing the plagiarism test. If the similarity rate of the article is more than 25%, then the status of the article is discussed according to the results of the first Editor's Meeting.
