The pre-checked articles are scanned for plagiarism using the iThenticate and Turnitin software.

Authors are informed if plagiarism/self-plagiarism is detected.

Editors may, if necessary, subject the article to plagiarism control at various stages of the evaluation or production process.

High similarity rates can cause an article to be rejected before it is accepted and even after it is accepted. Depending on the type of article, it is expected that this proportion will be less than 15% or 20%.
