Plagiarism

Every manuscript submitted to FBR is subject to a similarity screening before entering the publication process.

1. The overall similarity score must not exceed 25%.
2. The reference list and correctly formatted direct quotations may be omitted from the similarity calculation.
3. Matches originating from individual sources must remain visible and may not be removed based on either word count or percentage.

Manuscripts with a similarity score above the permitted limit will be returned to the author for revision or may be declined by the editorial board.
