| Dec 7, 2017 at 17:27 | comment | added | Nicole Hamilton | @DmitrySavostyanov When I first wrote my answer, I said I'd recommend rejection. While technically more correct, I decided it sounded wishy-washy, like I wasn't sure whether it should be rejected. I'm sure. | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 17:03 | comment | added | David Richerby | @JonCuster If the paper is rejected, it will be resubmitted somewhere else, where the plagiarism might not be noticed. Wouldn't it be better to inform the editor of the plagiarism and request revision to remove the plagiarized material? | |

| Dec 7, 2017 at 15:09 | comment | added | Jon Custer | @user2768 - one should immediately reject and inform the editor.There is not point in proceeding further. | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 14:47 | comment | added | user2768 | Once plagiarism has been detected (in this instance it was detected with certainty, since the reviewer's own work was plagiarised), should one immediately reject on this basis? Or continue reviewing regardless? | |
