The plagiarism check aims to maintain the quality of originality and novelty. Every submitted article to Jurnal Keperawatan Padjadjaran and uploading the final-revision version will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin or Ithenticare prior to publication with text similarity less than 20% as acceptable. Plagiarism-free works should match these requirements:

2. Writing of the direct quotation by quoting the same words as the original copies should apply quotation marks (for writing that is less than 40 words), or if the quote consists of over 40 words, paragraphs should be notched, and different font sizes applied.
3. The source should be mentioned for the use of other people's ideas, whether from published or unpublished writing, both oral or written sources, in any form of media.
