As is reported (http://gumtalk.wordpress.com/), one of Dr. Ziwei Huang's publication in Current Opinion in Chemical Biology "appears to have plagiarized from at least 8 different publications and a course material." It remains unclear whether upstate Medical University has taken any action and/or the editors of the journal know about the plagiarism. anonymoushttp://gumtalk.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-1373576304852503672013-02-19T12:30:52.258-05:002013-02-19T12:30:52.258-05:00Would the use of such software lead to some people...Would the use of such software lead to some people running their manuscripts through the software and making small changes to the work to get below 10 %?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-87054371298964453652013-02-17T12:39:18.285-05:002013-02-17T12:39:18.285-05:00A teacher I know who uses "Turn It In" s...A teacher I know who uses "Turn It In" software says that anything above 10% is considered highly suspicious.See Arr Ohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464185815368499346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-66060758224824562082013-02-17T10:26:04.265-05:002013-02-17T10:26:04.265-05:00Let's hope this is a sufficient embarrassment ...Let's hope this is a sufficient embarrassment to DT. Hopefully other journals, if not DT, will want to avoid this scenario by proactively policing this better, and not wait for their readers to expose plagiarism after the fact. The availability of tools like DOC Cop and forums like JLC, ChemBark and other blogs which can make such findings public should be enough of a deterrent for journals and prospective authors. Should be, anyway.

I've fou...Good morning See Ar Oh - and others!<br /><br />I've found that getting applying discipline to an author is as easy or as hard as one wants to make it - and spend the time and effort of doing it. <br /><br />I have had to issue the editorial "Death Penalty" once in my tenure at JCHAS. The situation was that a (research) paper was published in the JCHAS and a former graduate student accused the research group of cooking the books. Questions to the PI went generally were not well answered in spite of repeated attempts at getting to the bottom line. The investigation could not reveal abject misconduct, but the fact that I got nothing but a lot of pushback from the PI and research group honked me off so the hammer came down. The entire incident was made publicly available in the Journal - J. Chem. Health Saf., 2006, 13(1), 4. While we weren't able to actually retract the paper, we did apply some pretty harsh penalties, not only to PI but all authors on the paper. The whole process took about 4 months to complete.<br /><br />To answer a few questions from my perspective as the JCHAS editor ONLY. Keep in mind that JCHAS is a chemical safety applications journal, so your mileage may vary:<br /><br />RE: COPE - COPE is a volunteer organization - meaning a publication can belong to it or not. They are not the Journal Police and they can only make suggestions or recommendations. It is up to the editor to take them or leave them. Their guidelines are just that - guidelines, not mandates. If I have a question and seek their guidance, I am free to take it or leave it.<br /><br />@Anonymous 2/17/13 0816: It got through the refereeing process because authors are (generally) assumed innocent of misconduct unless an issue is raised. Reviewers are volunteers and I am a staff of one. Reviewers generally do not dig deep into the references. If they pass the sniff test, so to speak, they will usually get a pass until someone complains. If I suspect something, I will send it through iThenticate so check for plagiarism. If it comes up too hot in that program I will send the paper back to the author and suggest they make some additional references. (Of course, now, every paper submitted by Yan and his group should get extra scrutiny).<br /><br />I take accusations of misconduct seriously as it may have an affect on the integrity of my publication. However, at times, Author #1 will complain that their feelings were hurt because Author #2 said something #1 didn't agree with, and then scream "misconduct." Those instances are usually met with a "send a letter to the editor and the author will get a chance to respond."<br /><br />Harry<br />Editor, Journal of Chemical Health & SafetyHarry Elstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091371872387480309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-10377731656240324542013-02-17T08:55:02.521-05:002013-02-17T08:55:02.521-05:00Absolutely agree, but typically it's human nat...Absolutely agree, but typically it's human nature to avoid conflict. I wonder which editor that handled this was. RSC is unique in that they have full time staff acting as editors rather than the academics doing all the work on a part-time basis. I often get correspondence exclusively from people not on the masthead when I do article reviewing. I have a hard time believing one of the esteemed members of the editorial staff would have signed off on this as an appropriate action, unless they neglected to investigate the claims.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633935985970527303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-35831971410469583712013-02-17T08:16:39.758-05:002013-02-17T08:16:39.758-05:00See Arr Oh, I really appreciate you keeping us inf...See Arr Oh, I really appreciate you keeping us informed about this--I've been dying to know how this turns out ever since your first posts about these publications. <br /><br />This is completely ridiculous, and I don't understand how the editors at Dalton don't realize that even if this is the easier path, it's certainly not worth it in the long run. Unless, that is, this situation is far more common than we know. I certainly hope not. Either way, it's out in the open now, and the editors need to drop the hammer on this. They could even still save some (but maybe not much) face by claiming that the Addition was a placeholder while the retraction was in process. I don't think that's true, though, because they've had plenty of time to deal with it.<br /><br />I still want to know how this got through the refereeing process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-87761859100226370792013-02-17T03:32:51.347-05:002013-02-17T03:32:51.347-05:00Appalling!

It's a situation where, on the surface, there's not much in it for Dalton to deal with it harshly. Better to do the bare minimum and hope it goes away. Clearly Yan resisted/protested, and based on what I know, Chuan He was not that worried about it (i.e. isn't going to make a big stink). There's not much in it for He either, as he's going to be more than fine moving forward based on the quality of his science.

Do they think the work will be high impact? Clearly the answer is no, as the JACS article will be cited ahead of Yan's piece of toilet paper in DT. The DT paper thus has no intrinsic value.<br /><br />Are they afraid he's going to tell his friends in Beijing not to publish in DT? Boo freakin' hoo; make way for the ethical scientists. Pandering to this guy suggests too much focus on the bottom line in the DT office (welcome to the 21st century).<br /><br />This publicity will damage Dalton Transactions in the long run; there's no question about that. It's just sad that they seem to be so focused on the short term that they'd kiss a Chinese researcher's ass just to squeeze in one more paper.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363815288690987728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-36407469441709152542013-02-16T21:34:22.620-05:002013-02-16T21:34:22.620-05:00Tah-dah!
