We would like to thank all who filled in the questionnaires of the survey Aspects of Research Journal Publishing: Citation and Plagiarism. Having reviewed 167 questionnaires and a number of comments, it is clear that an argumentative live discussion is necessary. Some survey questions received equal number of identical opinions. With reference to the question on originality of the article, 62 out of 167 respondents claimed that in order to consider the manuscript original, it has to contain more than 50% of new and original information, 59 respondents answered that new material should constitute 70% of the content, whereas 36 respondents maintained that it should be more than 30%. There was almost unanimous opinion (122 out of 167) that the Lithuanian research journals should publish regulations on plagiarism and self-plagiarism as well as sign the declaration of ethics. The detailed results of the survey will be presented at the seminar where all interested in the issues of research journal publishing are invited to attend.
