Separate from the issue of plagiarism is the need for authors to obtain permission to reuse previously published work (even if properly cited) from the holder of the copyright (which is\u00a0typically not the author).<br \/>\nIt is essential that editors and reviewers be told by the authors when any portion of a paper is based heavily on previous work, even if this work has been written by one or more of the authors of the paper. It is the responsibility of the author not only to cite the previous work, including their own, but to provide an indication of the extent to which a paper depends on this work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Correction, Retraction, Withdrawal policies<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Corrections<br \/>\n<\/strong>Correctional representative all have the need to produce clear and concise written directives for staff, wrongdoer, and the community. provided the issues of administrative liability, accreditation standards, case law, and the need to support professional behavior, written policy and procedure is a necessity.

The article will be retracted in cases such as multiple submission, plagiarism or fraudulent use of data. An alteration that changes the main point of the original statement is generally referred to as a retraction while an alteration that leaves the main point of a statement intact is usually referred to simply as a correction. Depending on the circumstances, either a retraction or correction is the appropriate remedy.Biomedical and Pharmacology Journal\u2019s Retraction policy is based, in large part, on the guidelines and standards developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
