Plagiarism Policy

Journal Health Information Management Indonesian is committed to maintaining academic integrity and does not tolerate plagiarism in any form.

All submitted manuscripts will be screened for similarity using plagiarism detection software before entering the peer review process and, when necessary, at later stages of the editorial process. As a general standard, manuscripts are expected to have a similarity level of no more than 20%. However, the similarity percentage is not the only basis for editorial judgment. The editorial team will also assess the nature, source, and context of any overlapping text.

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, copying text, ideas, data, images, or other materials from other sources without proper acknowledgment, as well as self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, and inappropriate paraphrasing.

If plagiarism or unethical textual overlap is identified, the journal may take editorial action, including requesting revision, rejecting the manuscript, or, if discovered after publication, issuing a correction, retraction, or other appropriate notice.

Authors are fully responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are original, properly cited, and free from plagiarism.
