The submitted articles are analyzed using automated cloud-based plagiarism software. The software currently used by the journal for this purpose is iThenticate (©). The test is commenced upon the first arrival of the submission. In order to avoid false positives usually emerging from the terminology and citations, bibliography and single word matches, as well as matches with similarity ratio 2% or lower are filtered out from plagiarism evaluations.
Announcements:

Furthermore two new sections, i.e. ‘Conflict of Interest’ and ‘Author Contribution’, should be added to the manuscript. Links of those forms that should be submitted with the initial manuscript can be found in our 'Author Guidelines' and 'Submission Procedure' pages. The manuscript template is also updated. For articles reviewed and accepted for publication in our 2021 and ongoing issues and for articles currently under review process, those forms should also be fulfilled, signed and uploaded to the system by authors.
