There's no simple answer to "What percentage of plagiarism is okay?". What matters is the nature and degree of duplication which indicates whether an editor will consider it plagiarism. Read COPE position: Determining acceptable levels of duplication https://lnkd.in/eiY_THFK

COPE Members: we've updated our template letters which editors can use as a basis to draft your own letters to authors, reviewers or universities. Useful if you need a starting point when there is a suspected breach of research or publication integrity. #PublicationIntegrity #ResearchIntegrity #ScholComms https://lnkd.in/eCQp_Uxw

I’m giving a talk at the APAME conference at the end of this month, comparing the 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 to the 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻. Research isn’t (or shouldn’t be) a “mass produced containerised commodity”. Still, the supply chain is a useful metaphor to think of the way that research is conducted and disseminated. It can help us identify the location of problems, and opportunities for cooperation and training. I experienced this first-hand. Some fifteen years ago I developed a training course for an Australian port about the supply chain. What I learnt is that although shipping lines, stevedores, and truck drivers all move the same containers, they have radically different incentives, and they really don’t understand each other. They blame each other for problems and inefficiencies, and none of them, in isolation, can solve the systematic flaws in the supply chain's broader incentive structure. Sound familiar?  I think researchers and publishers may find it useful to reflect on their own place in the research supply chain, and how things may look different to others.

New: COPE Advisors We are pleased to announce the launch of a new role for COPE volunteers who share their expertise and interest in areas of publication ethics, or particular regions, to support COPE's mission. Welcome to our first Advisors who are already working with us. We hope to expand the scheme more widely in the coming months. #PublicationEthics https://lnkd.in/e7JaC3CC
