PLAGIARISM POLICY

Manuscripts submitted to the Anatolia Journal of Medical and Health Sciences must be original and free from plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, duplicate publication, salami slicing, and unjustified authorship. All submitted manuscripts are checked for plagiarism using detection software such as Turnitin and/or iThenticate. If the manuscript’s Similarity Index (SI) exceeds 20%, it will be returned to the authors, and they will be asked to reduce the similarity rate below 20%. If this condition is not met, the manuscript will be rejected during the initial stage of the evaluation process. Similarity from a single source must not exceed 5%.

If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article will be immediately retracted and removed from the journal’s website. In addition, the author(s) will be prohibited from submitting any manuscripts to the Anatolia Journal of Medical and Health Sciences for a period of five years.
