Plagiarism

Plagiarism is defined as "using ideas, words, data or other material produced by another person without recognition".

Plagiarism can occur concerning all types of sources and means of communication, including:

  • text, illustrations, musical quotes, extended mathematical derivations, computer code, etc .;
  • material downloaded from websites or taken from manuscripts or other media;
  • published and unpublished material, including lectures, presentations and gray literature.

We do not tolerate plagiarism in any of our publications, and we reserve the right to verify all submissions through Similarity Check/iThenticate (http://www.ithenticate.com) to ensure originality. Submissions containing suspected plagiarism, in whole or in part, will be rejected. If plagiarism is discovered after publication, we will adopt retraction following COPE's Retraction Guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines). We hope that our readers, reviewers and editors will mention any suspicions of plagiarism by sending an e-mail to rbcp@cirurgiaplastica.org.br.

Duplicate and redundant publishing

Duplicate or redundant publication, or "self-plagiarism", occurs when work, or substantial parts of a work, is published more than once by the author (s) of the work without good cross-reference or justification for the overlap. It can be in the same language or a different language. We do not support substantial overlaps between publications unless:

  • it is considered that, editorially, this will strengthen the academic discourse;
  • have the explicit approval of the original publication;
  • Include a quote from the original source.

We advise our readers, reviewers and editors to mention any suspicions of duplicate or redundant publication by sending an e-mail to rbcp@cirurgiaplastica.org.br.

When authors submit their studies to the RBCP, these manuscripts should not be considered, accepted for publication or in press in a different journal, book or similar entity.
