Herre's a article I found on the increase in retractions in scientific journals:

Our old friend is the first to comment on the linked article.  Warms my heart.

Be sure to check out his comments on this one:

Very surprised he doesn't choose the spelling with a 'ju' in it.  For him that would be a automatic two 'fer.

Oh P-man, we miss you so!

Seconded.  Pyshnov, all is forgiven.  Please come home.

As promised, here is a link describing an impending retraction on grounds of plagiarism: link here.

I don't know yet what sort of statement the journal will make.  Apparently this guy has a history of spending big on lawyers; perhaps the journal will tread lightly.  Not that it matters in this case, given the Times Higher story.

And here is the statement of retraction:  link here.

I wish they were willing to use the word plagiarism.  But "copied without proper attribution" is pretty clear -- the way plagiarism is defined.
