Abstract
Background:
Plagiarism is the most common type of misconduct in scientific writing and is defined as taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them as their own thus retarding progress. It carries serious penalties if proved. Plagiarism-free scientific writing is a shared responsibility of medical institutes initiating the scientific writings and the Journal editors who publish it.How to cite this article
