The Editorial Team of the International Proceedings of the Padang Ministry of Health Poltekkes (PIPKP) recognizes that plagiarism is unacceptable and therefore established the following policy stating specific actions (punishments) if plagiarism is identified in an article submitted for publication in the Padang Ministry of Health Poltekkes International Proceedings (PIPKP).

Definition :

Plagiarism is an act of intentionally or unintentionally obtaining or trying to obtain credit or value for a scientific work, by quoting part or all of another party's work and/or scientific work which is recognized as scientific work, without stating the source accurately and adequately.

For that, then:

Articles must be original, previously unpublished, and not awaiting publication elsewhere. Material taken verbally from other sources needs to be clearly identified so that it is different from the original text.

If plagiarism is identified, then, the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for reviewing the article and will approve action according to the level of plagiarism detected, with the following guidelines:

Plagiarism Rate :

1. Plagiarize some short sentences from other articles without citing the source. Action: The author is given a warning and a request to change the text and cite it properly.
2. Plagiarizing large portions of other articles without proper citation and not citing the source. Action: The submitted article is rejected for publication in the Padang Ministry of Health Polytechnic International Proceedings (PIPKP) and the author may be sanctioned for not being allowed to publish in the Padang Ministry of Health Polytechnic International Proceedings (PIPKP)

If the author is proven to have submitted a manuscript to the Padang Ministry of Health Polytechnic International Proceedings (PIPKP) while simultaneously sending it to another journal, and this overlap is discovered during the review process or after publication, then action will be taken according to point 2 above.

If an act of plagiarism is found outside the above rules, the editor of the Padang Ministry of Health Polytechnic International Proceedings (PIPKP) has the right to impose sanctions according to the policy of the editorial team.
