Plagiarism Policy

All submissions are screened for plagiarism before review.

Plagiarism includes reproducing text, data, figures, or ideas from any source without attribution, and reusing substantial portions of the authors' own published work without citation.

Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism are rejected. Where it is discovered after publication, the article is retracted. Fabricated or misattributed references are treated the same way.
