Academic Integrity

Authors must properly acknowledge all sources through accurate citation and referencing. Direct quotations must be clearly identified and appropriately cited. Failure to comply with these ethical standards may result in manuscript rejection, withdrawal of acceptance, or retraction of a published article.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to take appropriate actions in cases of plagiarism or other violations of publication ethics.
