Plagiarism is worse than mere theft

Article Abstract:

Proceedings of a conference organized by the US Public Health Service's Office of Research Integrity in collaboration with various other agencies on Plagiarism in 1993 explored the current use of plagiarism and scientists' understanding of it. Most of the work Pythagoras published was plagiarized from the ideas and notions of an ancient Egypt civilization. It is argued that most of the plagiarists, including well known researchers and scientists, fail to camouflage their piracy intelligently and provide only transparent excuses when confronted.
