If plagiarism is extended from 20% more than the stipulated minimum, the manuscript will be rejected and both the authors and their institutions will be notified. If plagiarism is detected in the peer review process, in the review stages or by the editors, the aforementioned measures will also be applied. When plagiarism is detected after publication of the article, Ciência, Cuidado e Saúde will notify and publish the committed infraction in an Editor's Note in the same edition in which the manuscript was published.
