An important finding from my original research data on who cited Patrick Matthew's 1831 book "On Naval Timber and Arboriculture" before 1858 has been plagiarised by Joachim Dagg.
The story of Dagg's research plagiarism in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society is told on a couple of pages of my latest book (Sutton 2022) "Science Fraud", which is published by Curtis Press, and is available directly from the publisher (here).
My book's full title is: "Science Fraud: Darwin's Plagiarism of Patrick Matthew's Theory". It can be ordered from any good bookshop, many online bookstores and is available on Amazon UK (here), elsewhere throughout all Amazon sites in Europe and most recently in the USA (here).
Dagg's Confession is now Published in the Public Domain
Last night Dagg let it slip that he is "rationalising" his plagiarism of my data.
Such guilt neutralisation rationalisation is a well know pitfall leading people to commit acts of plagiarism (e.g. here) In his desperate haste to seek to rationalize his malicious plagiary, Dagg writes 1942. of course, the real date of Selby's newly discovered citation of Matthew's (1831) book is 1842.
There is a page dedicated to the repeat plagiarism of Dr Mike Sutton's original, prior published, research data on PatrickMatthew.Com. The specific page is here
