Plagiarism check

The editorial board will carefully monitor papers submitted to the scientific journal PgO. All submitted manuscripts will be compared with published papers using similarity checking software (iThenticate).

Plagiarism includes Verbatim copying: reproducing a work word for word, in whole or in part, without permission and acknowledgement of the original source; Paraphrasing: reproducing someone else’s ideas without copying word for word, without permission and acknowledgement of the original source; Substantial copying: copying images or data from other sources; Text recycling: reusing large amounts of text from your own previous publications.
Any text contained in a manuscript that is copied directly from another source should be placed in quotation marks and the original source should be properly cited. If a paper captures the essence of a previously published work, that work should be cited. If any paraphrase is included, the source must be properly referenced and the intended meaning of the source must not be changed. All works that may have inspired the design of a study or the structure of the manuscript must be properly cited.

If plagiarism is detected during any part of the peer review process, the manuscript may be rejected. For published articles in which plagiarism is detected, the journal reserves the right to issue a correction or withdraw the paper, as deemed appropriate. The journal reserves the right to inform the authors’ institutions of detected plagiarism before or after publication.
