I have withdrawn a pre-print recently which had some accidental coincidence and hence plagiarism in it from a pre-print server. The Pre-Print is now deleted/removed and not accessible. Will I be accused of plagiarism later in the future for this article?
I think yes, why? Because such checking has been saved perminently...
Emad Kamil Hussein what do you mean by checking?
And search engine saves the metadata of the paper, not the paper itself(which is given as a link). If the paper is withdrawn the paper shall never be accessible except the metadata of it.
Sourangshu Ghosh , some journals accept works submitted through preprints servers, to avoid problems, I suggest that you submit your work to one of these.
First of all, let us have a look at that category of articles for those who don't know the preprint.
A preprint is a full draft research paper that is shared publicly before it has been published or even peer-reviewed by a given journal or conference. It may have been given a digital object identifier (DOI), and, in turn, it can be cited in other research papers. But, academics usually prefer to read and cite final published versions of journal articles or conferences instead of preprint (e.i. pre-publication works).
I have a different perspective for uploading any preprint anywhere before it has been published. My advice is not put any research anywhere until it is published and tagged with your name.
Why you let others know about your insights and methodologies before publication?
You may say that I am somewhat old-fashioned, but I have a different perspective for uploading any preprint anywhere before it has been published by your name. So, my advice is to not put your research anywhere until it is published.
- Your manuscript may be copied and then published by others before you can do that. This stealing of your paper might be happening. You must wait until the paper is accepted and then published by that journal. Then, upload that research item on any platform you wish.
- You should avoid telling the other researchers about the details of anyone of your papers until it has been published and seeing your name by yourself.
- A journal may have automated plagiarism software to check the paper before admitting it to the reviewing process. There are chances that your paper can get a rejection at any point. Thus, to avoid this problem, don't publish the preprint until you got ACCEPTED and see that it is tagged with your name.
Dear Prof. Sourangshu Ghosh,
A similar case occurred with one of my friends; he was accused of plagiarism; do you know why?
After about three months, his research paper was rejected because of plagiarism. When he checked the journal report, he found that his paper was accused of plagiarism and with a 61% percentage. The reason is that his manuscript was previously uploaded as a preprint. It took him another two months to solve the problem and removing the manuscript from the database of the preprint.
So, in order to solve such this type of issues, it may take several months of following up to remove the manuscript from the database of the preprint. Anyhow, If there were accusations of plagiarism, it is not well for any researcher's reputation, in any meaning.
Can anyone suggest me how to removed my paper from preprint as I am also suffering fro the same issue. Thanks.
Jayanta Pal Hello,
I'm having the same issue; my manscript has been rejected for plagiarism (from my own preprint)!
Have you found a solution?
