As a form of academic integrity, Jurnal Kedokteran STM will check the similarity of incoming articles. The editor will check the similarity using the Plagiarism Checker X application on each incoming article before proceeding to the next process. The tolerance limit for articles that can be continued to the reviewer process is below 20%. For articles that do not meet these requirements, the article will be returned to the author for improvement. Articles from the improvement results will still be checked again for similarity, to ensure that the similarity of the article is below 20%.
