Faber &amp; Faber, publishers of the book, decided to take the title off the market. Parts of it had been copied from the article \u201cEvolutionary theories of aging and longevity,\u201d by Leonid Gavrilov and Natalia Gavrilova, which appeared in the periodical <i>The Scientific World<\/i> in 2002. The plagiarized authors told the British newspaper <i>The Guardian<\/i> that they were pleased when they learned that some excerpts of their paper had been published in Wolpert\u2019s book. But, they emphasized, \u201cWe would be even happier if our paper were referenced.\u201d In a note, Wolpert acknowledged his mistake and blamed it on \u201ccarelessness.\u201d The investigation began in April 2013, after Faber &amp; Faber canceled the launching of a new title by Wolpert when they discovered that parts of it had been plagiarized. On that occasion, the publisher released a note suggesting that Wolpert\u2019s age (84) may have contributed to the mistake. Asked to comment on the plagiarism discovered in the 2011 book as well, Faber &amp; Faber declined to respond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plagiarism in books","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[209,230],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-146791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-good-practices","tag-biology","tag-ethics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146791\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146791"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=146791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
