Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are strictly prohibited. Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original, and if they have used someone else's work or words, they must provide appropriate citations or quotations. Authors should not submit manuscripts that essentially describe the same research to more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously is considered unethical and unacceptable.

Proper credit must always be given to others’ work, and authors should cite publications that have played a significant role in shaping the research being reported.

The Working Process:

The Matcha Editorial Team manually checks manuscripts against both offline and online databases for proper citations and quotations. Manuscripts are also reviewed using TURNITIN and Google-based search engines. Based on the originality and similarity levels with other works, the Chief Editor, along with Section Editors, will determine whether to reject the manuscript outright, seek clarifications from the authors, or proceed with the blind peer-review process.
