Originality, Plagiarism & AI‑Use Policy

  • Submissions must be original and not under review elsewhere.
  • All manuscripts are screened using plagiarism‑detection and AI‑detection tools.
  • Papers with significant similarity or evidence of unedited AI‑generated text will be rejected.
  • BRR does not accept fully AI‑generated articles. Authors may use AI tools for support (e.g., language refinement, summarisation), but AI cannot produce the full manuscript, and all AI‑assisted sections must be substantively revised by the author.
  • Authors must properly cite all sources and avoid self‑plagiarism.
  • Authors are responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of all submitted content.

Ethical Considerations

  • Authors must disclose any conflicts of interest.
  • Research involving human participants must include:
    • Ethical approval from a recognised body
    • Evidence of informed consent
  • Data must be handled responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with ethical research standards.

Peer Review Process

  • All submissions undergo double‑blind peer review
  • Typical review time: 4–6 weeks
