Plagiarism Check & AI Policy

Before going through the review process and publishing, all manuscripts will be checked that they are free from plagiarism by using "Turnitin". If there are indications of plagiarism of more than 50%, the manuscript will instantly be rejected. If there is an indication of plagiarism between 30% - 50%, we will send the manuscript back to the author to be revised for the plagiarised content.

 

AI Policy

Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini, do not satisfy our authorship criteria. Use of an LLM must be properly documented. If a LLM is used, please closely follow the guidelines below:
  • Indicate the use of LLM(s) in the manuscript cover letter, methods section, and acknowledgements. Specify the scope of how LLMs were used.
  • Ensure the content and citations produced by the LLM(s) are accurate, valid, and appropriate. Correct any mistakes or inconsistencies found. Provide a list of sources used to generate content and citations, including those generated by language models.
  • Vigilantly check plagiarism, where LLM may have reproduced substantial text from other sources. Check the original sources to be sure you are not plagiarizing someone else's work.
  • Acknowledge the limitations of language models in the manuscript, including the potential for bias, errors, and gaps in knowledge.
