Author Guidelines

Article Structure & Formating

Please refer to the Article Structure & Formating section of the journal.

Ethical Consideration of Authors, Editors, and Reviewers 

For authors, editors, and reviewers responsibalities & duties please refer to Publication Ethical Considerations section. 

PLAGIARISM / ORIGINALITY POLICY

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from 'passing off' another's paper as the author's own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another's paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

The journal has policy to screen every article for similarity index by using Turnitin. The overall similarity index should not be more than 19%, and a single source should not be more than 5%.
