Plagiarism Policy

The Journal of European Internal Medicine Professionals (JEIMP) maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism. All submitted manuscripts are screened for similarity using licensed plagiarism detection software prior to peer review. The acceptable similarity index — excluding properly cited references, institutional names, and personal names — must be less than 20%. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold may be returned to the authors for revision or may be rejected outright.

Authors are expected to ensure that all content in their submission is original, properly cited, and free from any form of academic misconduct, including but not limited to verbatim copying, self-plagiarism, inappropriate paraphrasing, or use of third-party material without permission. Suspected cases of plagiarism are handled according to international publication ethics standards and may be referred to the authors' institutions or funding bodies when necessary.

By submitting to JEIMP, authors confirm that their work complies with ethical research and publication principles, as outlined by COPE and the Budapest Open Access Initiative.
