Plagiarism
All changes, selected digital edits, and electronic enhancements made to any digital photographs must be described and explicitly noted by authors when submitting new and updated papers. Additionally, authors need to make sure that every figure they submit satisfies the following requirements:
- Plagiarism is the unapproved and unrecognized use of another person’s words, concepts, procedures, or outcomes in a way that could cause someone to believe the content is your own is known as plagiarism.
- It could be deliberate, the consequence of an honest mistake, ignorance of appropriate publication procedures, or poor judgment, but either way, it’s a serious problem that can harm an author’s reputation and career and potentially result in legal repercussions when copyright is violated. When a work or significant portions of a work are published more than once by the author or authors without proper cross-referencing or explanation for the overlap, this is known as duplicate or redundant publication, or “self-plagiarism.” This could be in a different language or the same one.
