Plagiarism, part trois


Well, I finally heard from the Indian journal editor in the case of plagiarism:

Dear Eyedoc.
Since i was out of town i could'nt reply to your email. i am investigating the matter and will let you know the developments regarding the case of plagiarism.
Thanking you,
Editor

Not much, but it's a start.

Now, is it just me, or does his message seem not the most grammatically correct for an editor of a journal that is entirely published in English?

Meanwhile, my editor has contacted Medline and they've promised to link the fraudulent article to its retraction, as soon as the Indian journal takes action.

It's a paradox. The editors cannot properly address your concerns until they locate an "I'm sorry we plagiarized" letter.

The editor for the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology doesn't know much about big eyes, does he?

Now that's a capital idea!

It's almost as if they wanted to send doc the tease and cross the eye!

SG: Rather myopic, really.

Maybe it's just a case of double vision...
