The article seems to be attempting to cast doubt on that severity. Which I would normally discount, but it was from Nature. Do you think Nature is also just as biased? I thought they were supposed to be held to higher standard and would be just as harsh towards anybody doing this.
- dekhn 3y agoYes, some folks think this was just a gotcha and the actual plagiarism was so minor it should have no consequences other than a few corrections and maybe a mea culpa. Other folks think that since the attack was perpetrated by their political enemies, it should be ignored. Other folks want to change the rules to allow for direct copying (similar to open source, using a license). IMHO Nature is biased; they seem have a strong preference for progressive liberal interpretations of many scientific things. On the other hand I think the article dfoes a fairly good job at representing the various mainstream opinions with an over bias.
