03	Peer Review and Revision The manuscript undergoes editorial evaluation, peer review, and revisions as required by the journal.
04	Similarity Check 2 Final Screening The revised manuscript undergoes a final originality assessment before publication. ↶ Unresolved similarity concerns may delay publication or require further editorial action.
05	Publication Manuscripts that satisfy the editorial, scientific, and ethical requirements proceed to publication in ARSHI Veterinary Letters.

HOW SIMILARITY IS ASSESSED

Similarity screening is conducted to identify overlapping text, insufficient attribution, duplicate publication, and potential plagiarism. The editorial team evaluates similarity reports by examining the nature, extent, and context of textual overlap.

A similarity percentage alone does not determine whether plagiarism has occurred. Properly cited quotations, reference lists, commonly used scientific terminology, and standard methodological descriptions are considered during editorial assessment. Manuscripts exhibiting inappropriate similarity or other ethical concerns may be returned for revision, investigated, or rejected.
