(stuff.co.nz): Scientists around the world are shocked by some recent outrageous plagiarism. Declan Butler, a writer for the journal Nature, has discovered many Iranian government ministers and senior officials publishing scientific papers lifted from other scientists' writing. They usually pinched big chunks of work, including tables and diagrams but, sometimes lifted complete articles. Articles written by Iranian transport minister Hamid Behbahani and science minister Kamran Daneshjou were given wide coverage in the Iranian media before Butler found their pieces were almost entirely put together from earlier articles by different authors.
