Plagiarism Check
Sent articles are examined with plagiarism detection software. Currently, iThenticate (©) software is used for this purpose. In order to prevent incorrect detections, which usually arise from terminology usage and references, the "References" section of the article, single word matches and similarity detections of 2% and below are excluded from the analysis.
If the article shows less than 25% similarity during this review, it is considered to have passed the plagiarism test. If a match of 25% or more is found, the status of the article is discussed at the first Editorial Meeting and the rejection of the article is decided.
