Comments on: Nature comes clean about retractions and why they’re on the rise http://retractionwatch.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/nature-comes-clean-about-retractions-and-why-theyre-on-the-rise/ Tracking retractions as a window into the scientific process Sat, 25 May 2013 08:26:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Michael Pyshnov http://retractionwatch.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/nature-comes-clean-about-retractions-and-why-theyre-on-the-rise/#comment-521 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 18:44:53 +0000 http://retractionwatch.wordpress.com/?p=708#comment-521 I was unable to get the obviously plagiarised paper retracted.

There is my correspondence with the editor there and there is shocking correspondence with COPE: they falsified the definition of plagiarism insisting that unpublished research cannot be plagiarised:

I guess everybody knows what COPE is, so now you will know more…

You may want to let your Nature colleagues know too, as we took that description from the editorial.
