Authors should only publish their original work and should properly indicate the work, source, and data they use. They should also indicate other publications that were influential in determining the quality of their work. There are different types of plagiarism: to portray another researcher's work as one's own, to copy a portion of another researcher's work without attribution or to use it in another way as if it were one's own, or to claim the results of another study as one's own. Plagiarism in any form is against publishing ethics and is unacceptable.

Each submitted article is scanned for plagiarism using Turnitin etc. plagiarism program. References and citations are excluded from this search. Every article with a search result of more than 13% is rejected without the need for further processing and will not be accepted again, even if changes are made. On crawl, the article is not imported into the Turnitin database. This rate is accepted as 25% in studies that are derived from studies such as theses and include this phrase.

However, other resources such as Crossref, Ithenticate, Google Scholar, and literature review can be used, especially in cases where Turnitin has a limited Turkish database. 13% is not a criterion for editors, they reserve the right to reject the article and/or request correction if they see the slightest problem.
