Plagiarism Policy

Jurnal Ilmiah Keperawatan Altruistik is committed to maintaining academic integrity and originality in all published articles. Plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, and data falsification are strictly prohibited.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to similarity screening using plagiarism detection software. The journal recommends a maximum similarity score of *20%*, excluding references and other appropriately excluded elements where applicable. However, the similarity score is not the sole criterion for determining plagiarism; each manuscript is assessed based on the nature and context of the detected similarities.

Authors must properly cite all sources, acknowledge the contributions of others, and ensure that their manuscripts represent original scholarly work.

Manuscripts suspected of plagiarism or other forms of publication misconduct may be returned for revision or rejected. If misconduct is identified after publication, the journal may issue a correction, retraction, or other appropriate editorial action in accordance with publication ethics standards.

All authors are responsible for ensuring the originality, accuracy, and integrity of their submitted manuscripts.
