Comment on Plagiarism in the “Journal of Sports Medicine & Doping Studies” by Yurii

Guido, the standards are somewhat different. Direct text copying even with proper attribution is considered plagiarism. Even in humanities where direct quotation is (much) more common such a borrowing will be frowned upon and the “authors” will be requested to make corrections. In all STEM fields direct quotation is used rarely and P4-P6 will be considered plagiarism by most editors.
