ANTI-PLAGIARISM Policy
JAIIO, Jornadas Argentinas de Informática maintains an anti-plagiarism policy aimed at ensuring that all published works are original and unpublished.
For this, the journal uses iThenticate, a tool for the detection of matches that allows to verify and prevent plagiarism. This resource, provided by the National University of La Plata, was incorporated by the journal since 2024 and has been applied, since then, to all contributions received.
The following practices are considered plagiarism:
Direct plagiarism
- Minimal changes are made and someone else's text is presented as your own.
- The authorship of fragments (sentences or paragraphs) that correspond to other people's texts is omitted (whether they are reproduced verbatim and do not place quotation marks or if they are presented by paraphrase).
Plagiarism in direct quotes
- Quotation marks are not used to indicate the fragments (sentences or paragraphs) that are reproduced verbatim.
- Only part of the fragment (sentences or paragraphs) that is reproduced verbatim is indicated by quotation marks (it is omitted that the sentences before and/or after the passage in quotation marks also correspond to the quoted text).
Plagiarism in paraphrases
- The changes made do not substantially modify the wording of the original fragment (sentences or paragraphs), so they do not constitute paraphrases.
- The paraphrasing is extensive and the paraphrased passages are not clearly differentiated from the passages themselves.
- Paraphrasing is continuous and no materials, own ideas or critical reflections are added that allow interaction or that enrich the information available in other works already published.
It is not considered plagiarism when:
- The passages that are reproduced do not dominate the original contributions of the writer.
- The incorporation of foreign passages is used to allow the author to interact critically with another person's points of view.
- The plot of the original text retains its meaning but is reworked with different words or characteristics.
Self-plagiarism or recycling fraud
- Minimal changes are made to one's own text and presented as if it were a different work.
- The indication that it is a previously published work that is presented recycled with corrections or with new additions is omitted.
It is not considered self-plagiarism when:
- The previous work is the basis for a new contribution, and key parts must be repeated to explain and defend the new arguments.
- The author considers that what has been developed in previous works cannot be presented in a better way for the new publication.
- Repeated passages do not exceed 30% of the original work.
In case of a plagiarism practice, Journal of the JAIIO, Jornadas Argentinas de Informática follows the guidelines provided by COPE
