Note for the Authors:

The editorial board is rigorous regarding plagiarism. The journal believes that taking the ideas and work of others without giving them credit is unfair and dishonest. Copying even one sentence from someone else's manuscript, or even one of your own that has previously been published, without proper citation, is considered plagiarism—use your own words instead. The editorial board retains the absolute authority to reject the review process of a submitted manuscript if it is subject to minor or major plagiarism and may cancel the publication upon the complaint of victim(s) of plagiarism.
