Pressure of academic promotion ,and acquring research funds are two main reasons that researchers risk their own morality while publishing their literary works

Dealing with manuscript’s plagiarism check is a subject of individual opinion.Some forms of plagiarism always exist when we directly quote or paraphrase in mosaic form because these are the similarities of words. What percentage is considered as a major plagiarism to bring into notification?These are just rule of thumb however , researchers should be aware of the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics(COPE). The flowcharts introduced by COPE is handy dealing with issues of scientific misconduct , however when there are so many researches on the similare topics, should we label it as plagiarism? Can zero tolerance in plagiarism  achievable ? Should researchers check plagiarism before submission of the article or is it responsibility of editors?
