The technical expert checks the submission text for malicious borrowings (plagiarism) using the StrikePlagiarism.com (or by Unicheck.com) software before review process.

This system examines the text of the article for the presence of maliciously borrowed text in two indices: Similarity Coefficient 1 (the percentage of text that determines the level of borrowing found in certain sources, consisting of text fragments containing at least 5 words) and the Similarity Coefficient 2 (percentage of text, which determines the level of borrowing found in certain sources that consist of text fragments containing at least 25 words).

If by the results of the review, the Similarity Coefficient 1 will exceed 20% and/or the Similarity Coefficient 2 will exceed 5%, or if there is a large amount of warnings the submission is rejected.
