Plagiarism

Plagiarism, where someone assumes another’s ideas, words, or other creative expression as one’s own, is a clear violation of scientific ethics. Plagiarism may also involve a violation of copyright law, punishable by legal action.

Plagiarism may constitute the following:

• Word for word, or almost word for word copying, or purposely paraphrasing portions of another author’s work without clearly indicating the source or marking the copied fragment (for example, using quotation marks);
• Copying equations, figures or tables from someone else’s paper without properly citing the source and/or without permission from the original author or the copyright holder.

Please note that all submissions are thoroughly checked for plagiarism using iThenticate.

Any paper which shows obvious signs of plagiarism will be automatically rejected and authors will be temporarily prohibited from publishing in this journal.

If an attempt at plagiarism is found in a paper published in Ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, the article will be retracted and authors will be obliged to send a written apology to the authors of the plagiarized work.
