Plagiarism Policy
Advances in Medical Informatics enforces a strict anti-plagiarism policy. All submissions are screened using advanced plagiarism detection software. Manuscripts identified with substantial overlap or unauthorized copying are immediately rejected. If plagiarism is discovered post-publication, the Editor-in-Chief, possibly in collaboration with a dedicated committee, will undertake a thorough investigation. Confirmed cases of plagiarism will result in:
- Notification and disciplinary action by the author's affiliated institution.
- Immediate removal of the plagiarized content from the journal's website, with a "Plagiarized Manuscript" label appended.
- Suspension or termination of the offending author's account and a prohibition on future submissions for a period of 3 to 5 years.
- Public disclosure of the author's misconduct on the journal's website.
- Implementation of additional measures as deemed appropriate by the editorial board.
