Plagiarism Policy

The Scientific Bulletin Series F. Biotechnologies will judge any case of plagiarism on its own merits. The Scientific Bulletin Series F. Biotechnologies Editorial Board uses an anti-plagiarism software system, to check the articles received for publishing, called Plagiarism Checker X.

If a plagiarism act is detected at any stage - before or after the acceptance, we will:

• if less than 25% of the original submission is plagiarized - inform the authors about the issue so in order to avoid the article's rejection, they can either rewrite the parts found as copied, either cite the original sources;
• if more than 25% of the original submission is plagiarized - reject the article and notify the author.

Additionally, as a CrossRef member, we are looking forward to implementing the CrossCheck system, that is well-suited to filtering academic content, being one of the best methods to detect the plagiarism in the online scientific community.
