If you would like to give me the journal reference, and your letter and
original manuscript, I'd be delighted to follow it up for a story.

Good one, Phil.
I am sure colleagues will be able to mirror my own experience. Did a
small bit of analysis of the qualifications and experience of UK
academics in Universities v the then Polytechnics: it was interesting
and revealing, by the way. I submitted it to a journal and was told it
lacked a theoretical underpininng. OK, I thought, they know best. I
moved on and in those days of not so hot IT systems and skills, lost my
submission. Lo and behold, three years or so later the author of the
letter who told me I wasn't worthy, published in the self same journal a
very similar analysis to mine. No theoretical underpinning there either.
Following a house and wife move, my missing manuscript resurfaced but I
didn't have the energy to take up the fight.
Maybe I should now!

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

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 ;-) .
