Letters to the Editor: Response to Horrom TA. The perils of copy and paste: Plagiarism in scientific publishing.

Thank you for your response to the recent editorial on plagiarism. I agree that it is important to note that our system for detecting plagiarism is not perfect. While we do our best to find all instances of plagiarism before publication, tools that check only the text of a document have their limits. Because of these limitations, it is imperative that editorial staff and researchers work together both to limit plagiarism and to educate other scientists and professionals on this important issue.
