C.N.R. Rao, a plagiarist? Empty C.N.R. Rao, a plagiarist?

He has been accused of indulging and allowing plagiarism. In December 2011, C. N. R. Rao apologized to 'Advanced Materials – a peer-reviewed journal, for reproducing text of other scientists in his research paper. His collaborator and the other senior author of the paper Prof. S. B. Krupanidhi accused a co-author PhD student at IISc for the mistake, “These sentences were part of the introduction of the paper, which was written by our student, that neither of us (namely, the senior authors, Rao and Krupanidhi) paid attention to”.

The PhD student took the responsibility for the incident and issued an apology. Later C.N.R. Rao offered to withdraw the article from the journal, but the editor let the publication stay as it is. C.N.R. Rao claimed to have never indulged in plagiarism. Later few more instances of plagiarism by Prof. Rao and his collaborators were reported. Prof Rao was criticised by an Indian scientist for these incidents and passing the responsibility to the junior scientists.
