Plagiarism Policy

Journal Oto Rhino Laryngologica Indonesiana (ORLI) upholds the highest standards of publication ethics and academic integrity. To maintain the quality and originality of published works, every manuscript submitted to ORLI undergoes a comprehensive plagiarism screening process before it enters peer review.

Plagiarism Detection

All submitted manuscripts are screened using iThenticate through Crossref Similarity Check, which compares the manuscript against a comprehensive database of scholarly publications and online content. Manuscripts showing unacceptable levels of textual similarity, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, or image manipulation may be rejected immediately or returned to the authors for revision before further consideration.

Editorial Responsibility

The editorial team evaluates the similarity reports and determines whether the overlap is acceptable (e.g., in methodology descriptions or standard references) or constitutes unethical duplication. The final decision regarding plagiarism rests with the Editor-in-Chief.

Cases of suspected plagiarism, data falsification, or redundant publication are handled according to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. When necessary, ORLI may contact the authors’ institutions or relevant authorities to ensure ethical resolution.

Author Responsibilities

Authors are expected to submit only original manuscripts that have not been published elsewhere and are not under consideration by other journals. Proper citation and acknowledgment must be given for any ideas, text, data, or figures derived from other sources.

Before submission, authors are strongly encouraged to use plagiarism detection software (such as iThenticate or Turnitin) to verify the originality of their manuscripts.

Post-Publication Policy

If plagiarism or research misconduct is identified after publication, the editorial team will investigate the case following COPE procedures. Depending on the severity, the journal may issue a correction, retraction, or expression of concern, and notify indexing databases as appropriate.
