“I am really sorry:” Peer reviewer stole text for own paper
What is this about?
This case is about Yi-Chou Tsai, a chemist at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. In 2009 he and a colleague published a paper. In that paper, some paragraphs were copies from a paper he was asked to review. He states that his colleague copies those paragraphs.
Why is this important?
One can also be indirectly involved in scientific fraud and plagiarism.
