Plagiarism
Updates to Article Attributes
Plagiarism, the passing of someone else's work as one's own, is completely and utterly unacceptable on Radiopaedia.org.
We know you all want to help, and you may be tempted to "cut and paste" sections of journal articles, textbooks or webpages into Radiopaedia.org cases and articles. However, be warned that even copying single sentences is unacceptable, even if you reference the source. Similarly, merely changing one or two words in a paragraph is not sufficient. The only exception to this is using portions of Radiopaedia articles within cases, which is permissible, as the text is creative commons. You should avoid using large portions of an article, however.
Please take the time to find a couple of references, read and understand them, then write content in your own words.
If you feel that your mastery of the English language is not sufficient to write content yourself, please think of other ways of contributing (see Getting Involved).
If you want advice or help, please feel free to contact the editorial board at [email protected].
