Abstract
In the article “Disasters: Introduction and State of the Art” by Noji (1), multiple instances of improper or missing attribution were brought to the Editor’s attention. Upon investigation, the following irregularities, which have been acknowledged by the author, were identified. On page 5, the second full paragraph in the second column, which begins “Major advances have been made during the past decade...” was taken from the article by Salama et al. (2, p. 1801; reference 20 in the original article). Although that article is cited as a reference, it was not made clear that the entire paragraph was a quote. In addition, on pages 5 and 6, several paragraphs were taken verbatim without proper attribution from the article by Noji and Toole (3).
