Author Guidelines

AUTHOR GUIDELINES

  1. Manuscripts must be original, have not been published previously in any scientific journal, that manuscripts are not being submitted for publication elsewhere, and will not be submitted to any media during the review process, unless the authors have officially withdrawn the manuscripts from JHD. JHD uses Similarity Check powered by Turnitin to prevent any suspected plagiarism in the manuscripts. Authors are expected to explicitly cite others' work and ideas, even if the work or ideas are not quoted verbatim or paraphrased. This standard applies whether the previous work is published, unpublished, or electronically available. Failure to properly cite the work of others may constitute plagiarism. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable. JHD applies a minimum standard of similarity score of the manuscript under 25 %. If the manuscript performs above 25 %, the article should be revised or rejected.
