Per Linguam

Plagiarism is the use of another's work without acknowledgement. This ranges from major plagiarism of large amounts of text to minor plagiarism without dishonest intent (e.g. when an author uses parts of an introduction from an earlier paper) and even self-plagiarism (the reuse of one's own work without citing the original version). Manuscripts submitted to the journal will be scanned, in addition to author submitting a plagiarism report, using anti-plagiarism software to verify originality. Other forms of scientific misconduct include duplicate publication, the falsification or fabrication of data, and undeclared conflicts of interest.

If any questions are raised about a manuscript undergoing review, the Chief Editor may contact the author(s) and request a response. In most instances there is no deliberate intention to deceive, and concerns are easily resolved.

Submissions containing plagiarism or evidence of other forms of scientific misconduct will not be considered for publication.
