Sir,An ethical issue concerning a core article[1] and those by others[2-6] was notified to the Journal as amounting to text plagiarism. The editorial, after review, returned the article for revision and advised re-submission, with the text within 150 words. Although significant text plagiarism is quite evident when the articles are visibly checked,[1-6] the reviewers infer that it was common knowledge and not due to intentional recycling of the text, or would retort that the evidence was scarce to implicate plagiarism as the core article attributed original sources. This is contrary to the high levels of evidence.[1-6] Thus, interpretation of plagiarism is subjective and assessment of the degree of plagiarism varies with the intellectual mindset of the individual. However, the office of research integrity (see http://ori.dhhs.gov/policies/plagiarism.shtml) defines text plagiarism as substantial unattributed textual copying of another's study. Is the evidence compelling[1-6] or it is only innate knowledge.
