Be careful! Avoiding duplication: a case study
Abstract: In bioscience papers, besides the other scientific misconduct issues, replication of the method section is a common problem because duplication is always being detected in the section Materials and Methods. We editors often receive comments and queries from authors who think that it is a matter of course to copy their own published materials as opposed to copying those of others. How should editors handle such papers with similar content in the method section and how to guide authors in writing the method section without being accused of plagiarism? What is right? What is wrong? Here we studied an example to explain this problem.
Key words: CrossCheck, Bioscience papers, Case study, Plagiarism, Method section, Similarity index

Dear editor:
I think the authors have the rights to copy their own published materials or methods but they must reffer the original paper.

Dear Sir/Madam
Plagiarism in Methods section cannot be justifably wrong as currently the trend is to give detailed methods so that it can be replicated and in some cases with necessary modifications. Though i feel that the wordings can be rearranged a bit every time it is presented for publication. That is ethically justified.
