Chemist publishes 70+ articles, all plagiarized
« on: March 03, 2008, 02:49:41 PM »
Here is an article about a chemist who published 70 papers from 2004-2007 - all faked or plagiarized...

http://chronicle.com/news/article/4019/indian-chemist-is-found-to-have-plagiarized-and-falsified-articles

The highlight:
[The plagiarized paper and the original] were identical except for a change in the name of the chemical being measured, from a chromium compound to an arsenic compound.

Maybe that's why all the indian papers I've tried don't work... either that or they were published in Tet Lett.

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread - I just couldn't resist the temptation to reply.

One of my old research supervisors used to say that Tet. Lett. is short for "Tetrahedron Lies".
