Anti-plagiarism policy

All documents submitted for possible publication will be checked for plagiarism with the Turnitin software. The editor is responsible for this process and will carry out the manual debugging of the observations made by the programme. For the article to be accepted, it must have a percentage of less than 20% after this process. The citations and literal paragraphs will then be reviewed and must be in accordance with Vancouver standards.  

If there are observations by the editor in those articles with a percentage lower than 20%, these will be returned to the authors for the corresponding corrections.   

After this process is completed, the article will be assigned to peer review through a double-blind process.  

The journal Archivos de Medicina (Manizales) follows the guidelines on plagiarism published by the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).  

With regard to the use of artificial intelligence as a new form of academic plagiarism, it follows the recommendations of the WAME (World Association of Medical Editors):  

‘WAME recommendations on chatbotse generative artificial intelligence in relation to scholarly publications’ (Zielinski et al., 2023).
