The journal operates a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism and other forms of publication misconduct. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Submitting another person's work, in whole or in part, as one's own.
• Reusing substantial portions of one's own previously published work without appropriate citation or editorial approval (self-plagiarism).
• Duplicate or redundant publication.
• Manipulation, fabrication, or falsification of research data.
• Unauthorized use or misappropriation of another researcher's data or unpublished work.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to plagiarism screening and editorial review. Where concerns arise before or after publication, the journal will conduct a formal investigation in accordance with its publication ethics procedures.

Where plagiarism or other publication misconduct is confirmed, the journal reserves the right to take one or more of the following actions:

• Reject the manuscript.
• Retract the published article.
• Publish a correction, expression of concern, or retraction notice.
