This is the first volume of a book series dedicated to "Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Scientific and Scholarly Communication". Fighting plagiarism is a the top priority for STM publishing. A practical guide will importantly contribute to the awareness of the relevant communities, bringing to the surface the basic rules and examples from the literature.
"This book provides a comprehensive insight into aspects of plagiarism within the field of scientific publications. ? Overall, the book contributes to the plagiarism debate and brings to this discussion an international dimension that many other publications lack and as such, it makes for interesting reading and is a thought-provoking contribution to the field." (Nicole Brown, Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice, Vol. 4 (3), 2016)
