Comment on Is the Editor of the Springer Journal Scientometrics indifferent to plagiarism? by Peter B

Dear Mr. Jeffrey Beall,

Just a note regarding the “wannabe” status of the Akadémiai Kiadó: funded in 1828, partly owned by the Hungarian Academy of Science, partly by Wolters Kluwer. Publishes ~ 60 journals (http://akkrt.hu/9/journals/), more than 20 with impact factor.

Do you also consider the Nature Group or the PNAS as wannabe publishers because plagiarism happened at them? They have investigated and retracted the articles: http://www.nature.com/news/2011/111005/full/478026a/box/2.html

I’m quite sure, the Editor-in-Chief and the publisher will investigate the issue, which will take some time, and not the number of days what really matters here (“I reported the plagiarism on Saturday; today is Thursday”). What matters is the result and the consequence.
