It is one of the very important parts of our manuscript processing. Every paper is screened carefully. In recent times it has become a mounting issue due to various reasons. Whatever might be the reason, learned academicians should be responsible enough to not to execute such delinquency. We always encourage and support authors who keep up their originality and come up with novel ideas.

Duplicate Publication

Performing research and recording it by not adhering to the required guidelines to achieve the desired result is treated as falsification. As you can see this is absolutely not the right thing to do.
