Inadvertent plagiarism generally occurs when papers are co-authored. Never let a paper with your name on it be published without viewing a final version of the paper. If ideas, methods, findings are borrowed, give credit where it is due. Fabrication & falsification: pressure to produce results might tempt falsification.
