In accordance with our journal’s publication policies, it is mandatory to upload a similarity (plagiarism) report during the article submission process. For a manuscript to be considered for peer review, the similarity index indicated in the report must not exceed 20%. During submission, the similarity index is automatically checked via the intihal.net system, and only after this verification can the submission process proceed to the next stage. Therefore, authors are strongly advised to check the similarity rate of their manuscripts in advance to prevent potential technical or ethical issues during submission, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted review process.
