What counts as plagiarism
- Copying text, data, figures or ideas from others without credit
- Paraphrasing closely without citation
- Reusing large parts of your own published work without citing it (self-plagiarism)
- Publishing the same study in more than one journal (duplicate publication)
If plagiarism is found
Before publication, the paper is rejected. After publication, the article is retracted with a notice explaining why, following COPE guidance, and the authors’ institution may be informed.
