Plagiarism policy

The Editorial Committee of Revista Enfermeria Herediana has as an established policy that the articles presented to the journal to evaluate their publication must have cited and referenced all the sources consulted, and will be subjected to a software to detect similarity with the sources consulted. 

The plagiarism percentage established by the journal is zero, all the sources consulted for the preparation of the files sent to the journal must be cited in the work, for this reason, if plagiarism is detected, the manuscript received will be rejected.

The Revista Enfermeria Herediana uses the TURNITIN software: https://www.turnitin.com

The files received, before their registration in the system, will be submitted by the Editorial Committee to the Turnitin program, the manuscripts that are within the percentage of similarity established, will be registered in the system, will enter the editorial process, and will start the peer review process.

This policy stipulates that only articles that have up to a maximum of 30% matches with other publications, will be accepted, as long as the coincidences do not entirely cover several consecutive paragraphs; excluding reference list.

The articles that exceed this percentage will be returned to the author with the corresponding report, so that the author(s) will consider to make needed corrections and, if he/they deem it convenient, send the article back to Revista Enfermeria Herediana to evaluate its publication, considering as a new submission and be submitted to the processes established by the journal.

A percentage of similarity greater than that established by the journal will only be allowed, when the author indicates that the manuscript comes from his Bachelor's Thesis, Professional Title, Master's, Doctorate or Second Professional Specialty, which has been adapted to the format of article indicated in the Guidelines for authors.
