Description
Summary:This article presents the personal story of an author who twice found himself a victim of plagiarism. The most recent development in the story is that a journal, possibly predatory, published a version of the author's article on predatory journals, plagiarized and incorrectly paraphrased. The occurrence prompted reflections on whether such stories are common to the developing world. The answer is hard to determine, but clearly there is a strong need for educating people about research ethics. Libraries can play a key role in the process by increasing the awareness of novice and experienced scholars about issues of research ethics, including plagiarism and predatory publishing.
