Plagiarism case
Jeffrey Beall reported that the editor of Scientometrics initially reacted indifferently to the discovery of extended word-for-word plagiarism in a 2013 article.[8] The authors in question had copied material from a source and provided a citation, but had not used quotation marks. In the end, the article was retracted.[9]
