Five simple rules to avoid plagiarism
What is this about?
This guideline describes how writers can avoid plagiarism with five simple rules.
Why is this important?
Plagiarism is a form of scientific misconduct defined as authoring ideas or words produced by someone else or from one’s own previous publications and attempting to publish such work without properly citing the original author and publication. Plagiarism is easy for writers to avoid by simply not copying any printed sources and by writing original text in one’s own words, and, if paraphrasing, citing the source. Unfortunately, these simple rules seem to be either forgotten or ignored by many authors, as instances of plagiarism have become all too common throughout the scientific world[1].
