Central Asian Cancer Sciences (CACS) is committed to maintaining high standards of publication ethics and research integrity and follows the best-practice guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics.

All submitted manuscripts may be screened for plagiarism, substantial text overlap, duplicate publication, and other forms of inappropriate reuse of previously published material.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that submitted manuscripts are original and appropriately acknowledge and cite all sources.

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

copying text or ideas without appropriate attribution;

substantial unattributed text overlap;

self-plagiarism or inappropriate reuse of previously published material;

duplicate or redundant publication.

Where substantial or inappropriate overlap is identified, the Editorial Office may request clarification from the authors and take appropriate editorial action, which may include rejection, correction, or retraction, depending on the nature and severity of the case.

Authors, researchers and freelancers can also use iThenticate to screen their work before submission by visiting www.ithenticate.com. Every article is screened and any that are deemed to overlap more than trivially with other publications will be rejected automatically with no right of appeal.
