Plagiarism Check

The peer-review process is at the heart of scientific publishing. As part of ASKS's commitment to protecting the integrity of the scholarly record, ASKS feels a strong obligation to support the scientific community in all aspects of research and publishing ethics. All submitted manuscripts must be free from plagiarism contents. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software to do the similarity checking before submitting their manuscript to the journal (please use Turnitin to check the similarity). Editors will also check the similarity of manuscripts in this journal by using Turnitin. The manuscript will instantly be rejected if there is plagiarism indicated or detected.

The final camera-ready also will be checked again for the similarity rate. The overall similarity rate of a manuscript should not exceed 25 percent, and the similarity rate to a single source should not exceed 10 percent.
