Plagiarism is defined as the practice of presenting someone else's work or ideas as one's own, and it goes against the principles of academic honesty and intellectual integrity.

To detect and prevent plagiarism, we utilize plagiarism detection software. This software compares submitted manuscripts with a vast database of published works, both academic and non-academic, to identify any instances of potential plagiarism.

For a comprehensive understanding of plagiarism, its types, and what constitutes plagiarism, we encourage authors to refer to the Koya University Referencing System. This resource provides detailed information on proper citation practices and avoiding plagiarism.

The Editorial Board of Aro journal thoroughly examines each manuscript for any indication of plagiarism. If plagiarism is detected, whether by the editor or peer reviewer, at any stage of the publication process (including before or after acceptance, during editing, or at the page proof stage), we will promptly bring it to the attention of the author(s).

In such cases, we will request the author(s) to either rewrite the text, accurately quote the original source, and provide proper citation. It is crucial to give credit to the original authors and sources when using their work. Failure to address plagiarism concerns adequately may result in rejection of the manuscript by ARO journal.
