(Australia with international connections) Sports concussion expert who resigned amid plagiarism claims accused of copying more articles – The Guardian (Melissa Davey | March 2022)

A statue pounding with a hammer a stone bulk bearing the word, "PLAGIARISM".

Analysis of 10 pieces by neurologist Dr Paul McCrory, who quit the Concussion in Sport Group, suggests he may have copied other work without proper attribution

A neurologist who resigned from a global sports concussion organisation amid allegations of plagiarism in a medical journal editorial has been accused of copying material in other articles without attribution.

If the allegations in the story are true, they are deeply disturbing – especially given the roles of Dr Paul McCrory and his contentious positions on concussion.  We have included links to 20 related items.

Dr Paul McCrory, who in 2016 described concussion among NFL players as “overblown” and has advised Australian Rules administrators on the issue, stood down as chair of Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) this week after the British Journal of Sports Medicine retracted the 2005 editorial, citing an “unlawful and indefensible breach of copyright” of the work of Prof Steve Haake.

The CISG receives funding from peak sporting bodies, including the International Olympic Committee and FIFA.

McCrory was editor of the British Journal of Sports Medicine at the time his editorial was published.
