Definition:
Plagiarism involves "the use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work."

Policy:
Articles must be original, unpublished, and not pending publication elsewhere. Any material taken verbatim from another source needs to be clearly identified as different from the present original text by (1) indentation, (2) the use of quotation marks, and (3) identification of the source.

Any text that exceeds fair use standards (defined here as more than two or three sentences or the equivalent) or any graphic material reproduced from another source requires permission from the copyright holder and, if feasible, the original author, and requires identification of the source; e.g., previous publication.

When plagiarism is identified, the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the review of the article and will approve measures according to the level of plagiarism detected in the article in accordance with the following guidelines:
