There's a great piece in yesterday's Times Higher on academics who
plagiarise (and commit other forms of research fraud). See:

Subject: It's not just undergraduates who plagiarise
At http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7119/full/444524b.html
[Volume 444 Number 7119: subscribers only] there is a very interesting
article about how much plagiarism there is among professional scientists
(or possibly PhD students).
This is also slightly annoying, as it goes only a fairly small step
beyond what we reported in Gateshead (see
http://www.jiscpas.ac.uk/documents/papers/2006Papers02.pdf). But then
again a publication in the JISC Plagiarism Conference is only a fairly
small step less prestigious than one in Nature ;-) .
