Plagiarism Policy
Originality and Plagiarism
Authors should ensure that they have written and submit only entirely original works, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited. Publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the work reported in the manuscript should also be cited. Plagiarism takes many forms, from "passing off" another's paper as the author's own, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another's paper {without attribution}, to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.
Policy of Screening for Plagiarism
All manuscripts must be free from plagiarism contents. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software to do the similarity checking. Editors check the plagiarism detection of articles in this journal by using a Turnitin software.
Maximum Similarity Index
The maximum similarity index accepted by Jurnal Lintas Keperawatan (JLK) is 20% of the overall manuscript, as measured by Turnitin, excluding the bibliography/references, quotations, and sources with less than 1% similarity. In addition, the similarity with any single source must not exceed 5%.
Similarity ≤ 20%
The manuscript proceeds to the editorial and peer review process.
Similarity > 20%
The manuscript is returned to the author(s) for revision and must be resubmitted with a similarity index of no more than 20%.
If plagiarism is detected after publication, the journal will investigate the case in accordance with COPE guidelines, and the article may be corrected or retracted.
