Every submission is screened with Similarity Check to help detect overlapping and previously published text.
Similarity Check compares manuscripts against a large database of scholarly content and the web to produce a similarity report.
Editors interpret reports in context — a similarity score alone is not proof of plagiarism, but high or improper overlap is investigated.
Screening happens before peer review and again before publication to protect the integrity of every article.
