When Eric Le Bourg, a French biogerontologist, came across a paper in a Korean journal recently, he almost fell off his chair; the entire article - text and graphs included - had been taken from one of his earlier articles. "It was plagiarism from beginning to end," he says. "I was astonished; it was pure cut and paste." Such blatant copying of an entire article is not unknown, says Harold Garner, a researcher at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Garner's team has used its eTBLAST text-matching software to build Deja Vu, a continually updated database that already holds some 75,000 abstracts listed in Medline that seem highly similar. His team has so far found dozens of near-100% clone papers.

机译：法国生物老年学家埃里克·勒·布尔格（Eric Le Bourg）最近在韩国一家杂志上碰到一篇论文时，几乎差点从椅子上掉下来。整篇文章-包括文字和图表-均摘自他以前的一篇文章。他说：“从始至终都是was窃。” “我很惊讶；那是纯粹的剪切和粘贴。”达拉斯的得克萨斯大学西南医学中心的研究人员哈罗德·加纳说，整篇文章如此夸张的复制并不鲜见。 Garner的团队已使用其eTBLAST文本匹配软件来构建Deja Vu，这是一个不断更新的数据库，已经保存了Medline中列出的大约75,000个看起来非常相似的摘要。到目前为止，他的团队已经发现了数十种接近100％的克隆论文。
