Preventing and combating plagiarism

The editorial board has a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism. All submitted manuscripts are checked for plagiarism using Strike Plagiarism software. If more than 15% of the text is found to be similar to previously published text or any form of plagiarism (including self-plagiarism) is detected, the manuscript will be reviewed by the editorial board. After that, an appropriate decision is made: either the manuscript is returned to the authors for revision, or it is rejected with a notification of termination of further cooperation with the authors.
