Plagiarism Screening
Papers submitted to Jurnal Keperawatan Indonesia (JKI) will be screened using Turnitin plagiarism detection tools. Prior to submission to reviewers, articles undergo a similarity and plagiarism check performed by an editorial team member. Submissions to JKI must exhibit a similarity score of no greater than 15%. JKI will immediately reject papers containing plagiarism or self-plagiarism.
What is Considered Plagiarism?
Plagiarism means presenting someone else’s ideas or words as if they were yours, without permission, credit, or acknowledgment, or by failing to cite the sources correctly. JKI considers plagiarism unethical and strictly prohibits it.
Scenarios of Plagiarism
To determine if an author has committed plagiarism, the editorial team evaluates the following potential scenarios:
- Literal copying: Reproducing another’s work word for word, wholly or partially, without permission or citation.
- Substantial copying: Reproducing a large portion of another’s work without permission or citation. The term “substantial” refers to both the amount and the qualitative importance of the copied material within the original work.
- Paraphrasing: Taking ideas, words, or phrases from another source and rewriting them in your own words without properly citing or acknowledging the original source.
