Plagiarism in research can be observed in two forms:

• When an author copies information from others and claims it as their own.
  
• When an author reuses content from their own previous work without proper citation, which is referred to as “self-plagiarism” or “duplicate publication.”

In this context, all manuscripts submitted to the journal for publication must be checked by the author(s) for plagiarism using software such as iThenticate, Turnitin, or similar tools prior to submission.
Additionally, each manuscript uploaded to the journal system is scanned using iThenticate software before entering the peer review process. Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 20% are automatically rejected.
