note = "Funding Information: We recently queried the NSF's Office of the Inspector General, and we discovered the number of investigated cases has steadily risen in the last 10 years [7] . The number of cases in which the Office of the Inspector General has determined that research misconduct (plagiarism, grant fraud, fabrication, conflicts of interest, etc.) occurred has also increased substantially since 2001. Research misconduct as a result of plagiarized work—text copying as well as intellectual theft—constitutes more than half of the allegations the Office of Inspector General receives [7] . As of the beginning of August, 2012, the Office of Investigations has 100 open cases being investigated [7] . One interesting point is that the NSF's definition of plagiarism does not include self-plagiarism. That said, the Office of the Inspector General is currently reviewing 1400 grant proposals submitted to the NSF a few years ago. The investigative team has found self-plagiarism (defined as more than 100 lines of previously published text) in 140 of them [7] . ",
