Plagiarism is a person’s use of the expression(s), finding(s) or thought(s) of other persons as if they were their own without proper references. All types of plagiarism, including an author’s use of their own work without reference, are a serious ethical problem. All submissions to the journal are subjected to a program (Turnitin and/or iThenticate) to prevent plagiarism. If cases of plagiarism, unauthorized use of third-party copyright, insufficient reference, or problematic authorship are determined, legal means such as a) publication of an erratum or corrigendum, b) retracting the publication, c) communicating the issue to the author’s institution, may be used.
