Plagiarism

So Sam Payne at Brigham Young was sent a paper to review in his area of specialty - and discovered that the paper was 100% plagiarised from his own paper in 2021. He reported this, but the journal Proteomics published it anyway. When he went on X, other scientists reported that the same thing had happened to them.

The authors of the new paper are all from the I M Sechenov First Moscow State Medical College.

I thought this was a prank (I.M. Sechenov), but apparently the school is real.
