Plagiarism policy

According to the ORI (Office of Integrity), plagiarism is “the theft or misappropriation of intellectual property and substantial copying of the text of another's work without attribution”, copying text without an appropriate and unambiguous reference to the original source.
Self-plagiarism is “reworking the text” or reusing parts of one's previous work, which also requires an appropriate reference.
The editors of the Bulletin evaluate textual borrowings personally and rely on plagiarism detection software.
Materials must be original and should not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. If the author submits another article with a similar topic to another journal, he/she should inform the editor. Publication of an article in the Bulletin is possible if the main result, conclusion or implications are not obvious from another work. If the author reuses a figure/graph/table/diagram published elsewhere, he/she must provide documentation that the previous publisher or copyright holder has given permission to republish the materials.
