“We DID NOT give any permission to duplicate or publish our articles... I can't imagine how it is possible that people DO things like that.”





“The physicians in this instance were scoundrels.”





“The physicians in this instance were scoundrels.”

“They simply stole our paper! They ought to go to jail or at least get out of the research business. But they are probably Full Professors by now and immune from any guilt. What a travesty!”




“To be honest with you, I was not aware of the fact that I need to take prior permission of the authors of the original article.”






“I had not intention to duplicate ideas, but only to divide previous experience of masters in [specialty area]… Some phrases were similar to that of the previous article written 4 years before... in fact that article inspired our work. I seize the opportunity to congratulate [the authors of the original publication] for their previous and fundamental paper. … It isn't a case of duplicate publication, because our work is based on our own cases.”
