Plagiarism Policy

The editorial board of the Journal of Public Health and Nursing (JPHN) recognizes that plagiarism is a serious academic offense and therefore enforces a strict plagiarism policy. All submitted manuscripts will be screened using reliable plagiarism detection software (such as Turnitin or iThenticate) to ensure the originality of the content. A maximum similarity threshold of 20% is allowed (excluding references). If plagiarism is identified, whether partial or complete, during the submission process, the manuscript will be rejected. If detected after publication, the article may be retracted and appropriate sanctions may be imposed, including blacklisting the author(s). Authors are fully responsible for the integrity and originality of their work.
