Based on Decision No. 275/GP-BTTTT signed by the Minister of Information and Communications on August 4, 2023, regarding the issuance of the License for Print Media and Electronic Journal, we are pleased to introduce the University of Phan Thiet Journal of Science (UPTJS), where research works in both Vietnamese and English that have not previously appeared in other publications are published.

The manuscript's plagiarism rate should not exceed the journal's permissible limit, which is below 30% for Vietnamese, 25% for English, and below 5% for each document. We kindly ask for authors’ understanding that UPTJS only supports plagiarism checks for each submission up to a maximum of two times (notified to the author). Therefore, since UPTJS has its own criteria and plagiarism policy, we kindly request authors to conduct plagiarism checks before resubmitting to the journal, without the need to resend the results. The journal cannot proceed with the subsequent steps of the review and publication process for the article if the number of plagiarism checks exceeds this template's basic formatting requirements.

In cases where authors have previously conducted a similarity check using the Turnitin system, they are kindly requested to remove or exclude the manuscript from the system prior to submission to the journal, in order to ensure that the journal’s similarity checking process is carried out accurately and without technical issues.
