By Shamim T et al. Plagiarism reporting: My experience. Saudi Dent J 2012;24:119.

Plagiarism refers to the use of published ideas, words, or illustrations
of others without permission and presenting them as
new and original rather than as derived from an existing source
(Habibzadeh and Shashok, 2011).

I published a case report in the Saudi Dental Journal
(Shamim et al., 2007). The same article was plagiarized by
other authors and published as a case report for a pediatric patient
in a journal published in India. The authors copied the
entire text (introduction, case report, discussion, conclusion,Oral pemphigus vulgaris in a pediatric patient
photomicrograph Figure 4 and direct immunofluorescence
photograph) from the original article. They also changed the
department and presented the case as if it occurred in a pediatric
patient.

I informed the Editor-in-Chief of the Indian journal regarding
this glaring case of plagiarism. The Editor-in-Chief of the
Saudi Dental Journal also wrote to the Editor concerned to
rectify the matter. The editor of that journal decided to retract
the above article. This is really an honor to the scientific community
and a fine example of a well-handled ethical issue.
