1. Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are not allowed
2. Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used
    the work and/or words of others, that they have been properly cited
3. In general, an author should not publish manuscripts that describe essentially the same research in
    more than one journal or publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at 
     the same time constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable
4. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite 
    publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

We use the Turnitin Program to check plagiarism. If an indication of plagiarism (more than 30%) is found, the editors will immediately reject the manuscript or assign author to revised the manuscript.
