I've seen a number of researchers who basically publish the same study in multiple journals.
This ups their publication count.
I've also seen ones that publish dozens of nearly
identical papers by doing the same type of study
on a different molecule. Thus the molecule name,
critical numbers and graphs are the only differences
between papers.
I would hope that these two cases were manually
excluded from the nearly 100% identical finds
in this study.
