This wiki site came into existence to document alleged self-plagiarism by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Bruno S. Frey, many of them together with coauthors.
Some months ago, suspicion of self-plagarism by BSF arose through the discussion of four very similar articles about the sinking of the Titanic published in renowned international journals by BSF. Here is an overview on the four papers. Shortly after these accusations arose, discussions broke out on the Economics Job Market Rumors forum about alleged self-plagiarism in a number of papers by BSF. Some of these papers are single-author studies while many are co-authored. You find a list of these coauthors below. In the meantime, BSF and two of his coauthors climbed up to the RePEc list of plagiarism offenders.
Please support the project by adding information on plagiarized work of BSF. If you want to help, inform yourself a bit on the actual discussion. The blog by Olaf Storbeck gives a good overview on the topic. Under Suspicious articles you will find the papers that are allegedly self-plagiarized. If you want to add (a bunch of) papers, create a new page and link it in the list below. It's easy! Every kind of help is welcome.
The last entry at the bottom of the page is the collection of allegedly self-plagiarized papers that has been written on the Wikipedia entry on Bruno Frey, but deleted due to unreliable sources.
A software useful in finding copied parts of articles is the following: http://plagiarism.bloomfieldmedia.com/z-wordpress/software/wcopyfind/
