Policy or Screening of Plagiarism

Papers submitted to Journal of Islamic Nursing will be screened for plagiarism using Turnitin plagiarism detection tools. Journal of Islamic Nursing will immediately reject papers containing plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Plagiarism is the exposure of another personâ€™s thoughts or words as though they were your own, without permission, credit, or acknowledgment, or by failing to cite the sources properly. Plagiarism can take diverse forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing the work of another. In order to properly judge whether an author has plagiarized, we emphasize the following possible situations:

Literal copying â€“ An author copies another authorâ€™s work word for word, in whole or in part, without permission and without acknowledging or citing the original source. This practice can be identified by comparing the original source and the manuscript/work suspected to be plagiarized.
Substantial copying â€“ An author reproduces a substantial part of another authorâ€™s work, without permission and without acknowledging or citing the original source. The term â€˜substantialâ€™ can be understood both in terms of quality and quantity, being often used in the context of intellectual property. â€˜Qualityâ€™ refers to the relative value of the copied text in comparison to the work as a whole.
Paraphrasing â€“ An author takes ideas, words, or phrases from a source and crafts them into new sentences within their own writing. This practice becomes unethical when the author does not properly cite or does not acknowledge the original work/author. This form of plagiarism is the more difficult form to be identified.
