Abstract
You have just completed a clinical study with a resident. You ask him to write the first draft. He finishes the draft and hands it to you after 2 weeks. You read it through, but are concerned that there are parts, both in the methodology and the discussion, which you think are plagiarized from previous texts. You check and discover that you are correct.
Plagiarism is misconduct. Remember what Marcel C. LaFolette (1910–1955), a research associate at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, said: “Forgery, fakery and plagiarism contradict every natural expectation for how scientists act: they challenge every positive image of science that society holds.”
