2. Similarity Index: All submissions must undergo a similarity check, with a maximum similarity score of 20%. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold will not be processed.
3. Originality Statement: Authors must provide a signed form declaring that the manuscript has not been previously published or submitted elsewhere.
