Scientific misconduct: plagiarism and non-compliance with declarations of conflicts or links of interest: retrospective analysis of one year of submissions to Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research
Authors of scientific articles submitted to Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research (OTSR) must meet the criteria of scientific integrity (SI). Quality criteria include potential plagiarism and compliance with declarations of links of interest. These data have not been compared for OTSR, so we conducted a retrospective study to measure: the rate of potential plagiarism, for French authors, the rate of failure to declare links of interest, the possible link between these two scientific misconducts.
