Manuscripts with plagiarized content will not be considered by the journal. If plagiarism is identified, we will follow COPE guidelines. Authors whose work has been flagged as containing possible plagiarised content by JPR editors or reviewers will have an opportunity to respond to the journal's concerns. If no response is received the journal reserves the right to reject the submission, issue a correction or retraction (if the manuscript has already been published) and contact authors' institutions, funders or regulatory bodies as necessary.
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:
- copying, either verbatum or close, text from other sources without attribution/citation

- significantly reusing your own text from previous publications without attribution or the agreement of the editor (read the COPE guidelines on text recycling)(note, there are exceptions relating to methods)
- using the original structure, argument or idea from another source as a major part of a new publication without attribution (where it is clear this has not been developed by the authors).
