Dear Dr Levy
I am writing to you in confidence to point this out
I have come across 2 research reports one published in
2005 and the other in 2007 (in your journal) in different journals with exactly
identical results just analyzing the data slightly differently Is this something
which is OK Both papers and abstracts are attached for your reference Also
the 2007 paper does not reference the 2005 paper I am surprised that this was
not picked up in peer review
