The author describes his experiences in discovering plagiarism as Editor-in-Chief of three indexed medical journals. He also presents several examples of plagiarism recorded in Southeastern European countries. According to his opinion, scientific institutions and universities should have established units for monitoring,  promoting and developing quality research, in accordance with the principles of Good Scientific Practices (GSP) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
