I picked up a reference on the plagiarism list today about this paper in Nature which is suggesting that as many as 200,000 of the 17 million articles in the Medline database might be duplicates, either plagiarized or republished by the same author in different journals. I haven’t really addressed the issue of re-publication with staff and students I talk to – I’d be interested to know if other people have.
Bramley and Pippin “helping” me work – well at least keeping me company!
