All submissions shall be subjected to plagiarism check, care must be taken by the authors to avoid the traps of plagiarism. The definition of plagiarism is not just copying strings of sentences or words. In fact, copying of someone’s ideas without giving proper credit falls under serious nature of academic theft. We advise authors to spend additional time in ensuring that the references give due credit to the original work wherever necessary.  We at SPAST offer guidance to authors on this particular aspect.
