We have been screening articles for plagiarism, however only rejecting if found unclean. This more stern action is being taken because of the unscrupulous behavior of handful of authors, who have been involved in ethical misconduct. The Screening and taking decision on such articles cost's huge time and resource of the journal. It directly delays the process of genuine articles.

Hope you will help us to maintain the reputation of IJARS.
