Physics Plagiarism Alert
Physics Plagiarism AlertRecent news, February 7 2003: This week, we learned from themedia that an enquiry commission has submitted its report on the charges of plagiarism that are the focus of this website.The report confirms that plagiarism has taken place. Thecommission specifically found the Vice-Chancellor of KumaonUniversity, Prof. B.S. Rajput, guilty of plagiarism. Here is one ofthe media reports:Indian Express, February 4, 2003Subsequently it was announced that Prof. Rajput has resignedas Vice-Chancellor of Kumaon University:TheHindu, February 7, 2003 This page describes a shocking set ofinstances of plagiarism in TheoreticalPhysics by an Indian scientist holding a high official position, together with hiscolleagues. If you are a physicist working in or concerned with Indian science, itis important that you view the contents of this page, convinceyourself of what they represent and make youropinion known. We have presented factual materials that webelieve make it completely clear, without a shadow of doubt, thatplagiarism has taken place. The identities of the perpetrators of thisare also clear. This page was created in the hope that seriousaction will be taken against those responsible for these shamefulactions. Their actions pose a grave danger to the interests andreputation of Indian science.(i) Here are two published papers. You can download them asPDF or PostScript files, print them and compare them for yourself.Title: Superpotential from black holes Title: Axion-dilaton black holes with SL(2,Z) symmetry through APT-FGPmodelAuthor: Renata Kallosh,Stanford UniversityAuthors: S.C. Joshi and B.S.

One of these has now been withdrawn by the journal in which it was published (see note at the top of this page):Read report (PDF) Read report (PostScript)(iii) Three more instances of unethical scientific practice by thesame group are described in the following report:Read report (PDF) Read report (PostScript) (iv) Here is information about which of the authors was the"corresponding author" for some of the papers described above.Read report (PDF) Read report (PostScript) (v) The journal "Progress of TheoreticalPhysics" has published an Editor's Note withdrawing the paper of M.P. Singh and B.S. Rajput (see the report in section (ii)above), on the grounds that it is "not an original contribution". Read this note LINKSHere are links to some recent articles inthe news mediaon this issue.
