The editorial board is very strict regarding plagiarism. The journal believes that taking the ideas and work of others without giving them credit is unfair and dishonest.

The editorial board retains the absolute authority to reject the review process of a submitted manuscript if it subjects to minor or major plagiarism and even may cancel the publication upon the complaint of victim(s) of plagiarism.
