In order to verify the originality of scholarly manuscripts submitted to the Editorial Board, the journal uses the specialized text similarity detection service StrikePlagiarism.

If copyright infringement, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or non-compliance with generally accepted standards of research ethics is identified, the Editorial Board reserves the right to reject the manuscript or withdraw an already published article.

The Editorial Office informs both the author(s) and the institution where the relevant research was conducted of any decision to withdraw a publication.
