Plagiarism Policy

All manuscripts are screened for plagiarism before entering peer review.

What we check

  • Verbatim plagiarism: copying text without quotation and citation.
  • Self-plagiarism: reusing one's own published text or data without disclosure.
  • Mosaic plagiarism: close paraphrasing of another work's structure and ideas without credit.
  • Image and data reuse: figures or tables reproduced without permission or attribution.

Thresholds

Manuscripts with an overall similarity index above 15% (excluding references and properly quoted material), or more than 3% similarity to any single source, are returned to authors for revision before review.

Consequences

If plagiarism is detected after publication, the chapter is retracted in line with our publication ethics, the authors' institutions may be notified, and future submissions from the same authors may be declined.
