Plagiarism, copying of ideas, text, data and other creative works without proper citation, is a serious violation. Bioinformatics and Biomedical Research Journal defines plagiarism as a case in which a paper reproduces another work with at least 25% similarity and without citation. The author(s) will be asked a chance for rebuttal if evidence of plagiarism is found before/after acceptance or after publication of the paper. If the arguments are not found to be satisfactory, the manuscript will be drawn back and the author(s) sanctioned from publishing papers for a period to be determined by the responsible Editor(s).
