Plagiarism Policy

Originality and Plagiarism

In publishing, SAINS strongly opposes any case of plagiarism on its own merits. SAINS commits to deterring plagiarism, including self-plagiarism.

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works and that if they have used the work and/or words of others, this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Papers found to have such problems are automatically declined and authors are advised. Also, significant parts of the work have not been published. The author also respects entirely SAINS' author guidelines regarding redundant, duplicate, or fraudulent publication.

Before the author(s) submit the manuscript to SAINS, please conduct a check first for similarity.
