The journal editor will check the plagiarism level using Turnitin to ensure this article has not been published. If a manuscript has over 20% of plagiarism based on the result Turnitin check,
we will send back the manuscript to the author to be revised for the plagiarised contents. Only original and previously unpublished manuscripts will be considered for review.
