“…PFJ juga telah melukai budaya riset akademik yang tidak sesuai dengan kaidah-kaidah ilmiahnya [9]. PFJ juga diragukan integritas akademiknya [10], [11] serta merupakan bagian dari ketidakjujuran ilmu pengetahuan [12]. Artikel-artikel yang terbit dalam PFJ kemungkinan bermasalah dengan plagiarismenya [11], hal ini penting diingat bahwa salah satu strategi untuk terhindar dari PFJ adalah dengan memastikan tingkat plagiarisme yang minim [13].…”

Publikasi ilmiah menjadi tantangan tersendiri untuk menyebarluaskan informasi hasil riset kepada khalayak ilmiah. Sering kali penulis diharuskan memilih beberapa opsi publikasi, termasuk prosiding konferensi hingga artikel jurnal. Dewasa ini telah marak publikasi ilmiah dengan slogan jalur cepat, baik dengan biaya murah hingga biaya fantastis. Penulis kerap kali mendapatkan email dari editor-editor tertentu untuk mengajak berkontribusi dalam publikasi ilmiah melalui konferensi dan jurnal. Kedua strategi ini digunakan melalui alamat email penulis yang pernah mempublikasikan karya ilmiah sebelumnya, sehingga alamat email dengan mudah didapatkan untuk undangan ilmiah tersebut. Kami mendapatkan undangan dari editor jurnal kedokteran untuk berkontribusi dalam konferensi internasional mereka, serta termasuk ajakan untuk publikasi artikel jurnal pada jurnal mereka. Biaya yang ditawarkan cukup fantastis, apabila dalam memilih opsi publikasi ke jurnal tidak dengan hati-hati dan cermat, dikhawatirkan akan terjebak dengan strategi ini. Strategi sederhana ialah melalui mesin pencarian dengan mencantumkan nama jurnal tersebut, salah satu portal yang memberikan diskusi berupa Research Gate. Temuan kami ini dapat menjadi nasehat untuk para penulis yang hendak mempublikasikan karya ilmiahnya di jurnal dengan integritas ilmiah tinggi dan melalui proses ulasan sejawat yang ketat.

“…There has been limited research addressing plagiarism in predatory journals. Several articles described unethical practices common to predatory journals, such as inadequate or no peer review of manuscripts, intentional misrepresentation or omission of information about author fees, duplicate publication, journal hijacking, and scam conferences (Jimenez & Garza, 2017;Oermann et al, 2018;Shamseer et al, 2017). Shamseer et al (2017) completed a cross-sectional comparison of potentially predatory and legitimate biomedical journals and noted that almost 55% of their sample of predatory journals had a name similar to another journal.…”

“…In contrast, when a plagiarized duplicate article is published, investigation often uncovers unethical practices, such as different authors and affiliations. Duplicate publications lacking appropriate rationale and transparency represent dishonest behaviors and lead to consequences such as diluting the literature and questionable confidence in its integrity; inaccurate synthesis of literature findings due to inclusion of data more than once; and waste of journal space to publish other deserving articles (Jimenez & Garza, ; Oermann et al., ). Because articles from predatory journals lack credible archiving (Nicoll & Chinn, ; Oermann et al., ), it may be impossible to even detect duplicate publications if the original article has disappeared.…”

Plagiarism in Predatory Publications: A Comparative Study of Three Nursing Journals

Purpose This study compared three known predatory nursing journals to determine the percentage of content among them that was plagiarized or duplicated. A serendipitous finding of several instances of plagiarism via duplicate publications during the random analysis of articles in a study examining the quality of articles published in predatory journals prompted this investigation. Design The study utilized a descriptive, comparative design. All articles in each journal (n = 296 articles) from inception (volume 1, number 1) through May 1, 2017, were analyzed. Methods Each article was evaluated and scored electronically for similarity using an electronic plagiarism detection tool. Articles were then individually reviewed, and exact and near exact matches (90% or greater plagiarized content) were paired. Articles with less than 70% plagiarized scores were randomly sampled, and an in‐depth search for matches of partial content in other journals was conducted. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Findings The extent and direction of duplication from one given journal to another was established. Changes made in subsequent publications, as a potential distraction to identify plagiarism, were also identified. There were 100 (68%) exact and near exact matches in the paired articles. The time lapse between the original and duplicate publication ranged from 0 to 63 months, with a mean of 27.2 months (SD =19.68). Authors were from 26 countries, including Africa, the United States, Turkey, and Iran. Articles with similarity scores in the range of 20% to 70% included possible similarities in content or research plagiarism, but not to the extent of the exact or near exact matches. The majority of the articles (n = 94) went from Journal A or C to Journal B, although four articles were first published in Journal B and then Journal A. Conclusions This study found a substantial level of plagiarism via duplicate publications in the three analyzed predatory journals, further diluting credible scientific literature and risking the ability to synthesize evidence accurately to inform practice. Editors should continue to use electronic plagiarism detection tools. Education about publishing misconduct for editors and authors is a high priority. Clinical Relevance Both contributors and consumers of nursing literature rely on integrity in publication. Authors expect appropriate credit for their scholarly contributions without unethical and unauthorized duplication of their work. Readers expect current information from original authors, upon which they can make informed practice decisions.

“…The integrity, character that can be built within the academic context will create a good system of higher education (Keohane, 1999), because it has a sound academic standard, is able to develop scientific progress and can prepare the responsible young generation as part of a civilized society (Jimenez & Garza, 2017). More details Keohane set five values that must exist in building academic integrity, namely honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility (Keohane, 1999).…”

This study aims to create a measure of academic integrity as an effort in anticipating the problems of plagiarism and other academic violations. The concept of academic integrity comes from Keohane (1999) which is defined as an individual's commitment to positive values so as to be able to act and behave accordingly in creating a good academic situation.This research uses semi-construction approach which is divided into several stages.
