(Iran) President of Iranian university in ‘serious breach of ethical standards’ – Retraction Watch (Frederik Joelving | January 2023)
The repeat publication of research findings/results is a research integrity concern. Depending on where it appears, text recycling can be a problem too. One of the reasons it can be a problem is that it gives a false impression that research has been conducted multiple times, finding the same result. It can also infringe the copyright of the original publisher. For this reason, institutional policy, guidance material and professional development should provide clear guidance about republication and text recycling. It definitely is not a good look if the leader of an institution breaches this principle.
