Abstract

April 22, 2013

As Editor-in-Chief of the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, it has come to my attention that two articles that have published in our journal are very similar to the content of previously published papers.

Specifically, the two articles:

Scabini S, Rimini E, Massobrio A, Romairone E, Linari C, Scordamaglia R, Marini LD, Ferrando V. Primary omental torsion: A case report. World J Gastrointest Surg 2011 Oct 27; 3(10): 153-5. DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v3.i10.153. PubMed PMID: 22110847; PMCID: PMC3220728 has a number of very common features to the previously published paper Efthimiou M, Kouritas VK, Fafoulakis F, Fotakakis K, Chatzitheofilou K. Primary omental torsion: report of two cases. Surg Today 2009; 39(1): 64-7. DOI: 10.1007/s00595-008-3794-7. Epub 2009 Jan 8. PMID: 19132472.

Scabini S. Sentinel node biopsy in colorectal cancer: Must we believe it World J Gastrointest Surg 2010 Jan 27; 2(1): 6-8. DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v2.i1.6 PMID: 21160827; PMCID: PMC2999193 has copied entire paragraphs from two papers by Nicholl M, Bilchik AJ. Is routine use of sentinel node biopsy justified in colon cancer Ann Surg Oncol 2008 Jan; 15(1): 1-3. Epub 2007 Oct 11. PubMed PMID: 17929100 and Bilchik AJ, Compton C. Close collaboration between surgeon and pathologist is essential for accurate staging of early colon cancer. Ann Surg. 2007 Jun; 245(6): 864-6. PMID: 17522510; PMCID: PMC1876950.

Based on my review of the aforementioned articles, these two articles are being retracted.

I have also asked the office of the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery to make it a matter of policy to use routinely anti-plagiarism software to screen all submissions to the journal in the future.

Sincerely,

Timothy M. Pawlik, MD, MPH, PhD
