The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in Educational Technology Research and Development, 56 (2008) 329-359, http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11423-006-9009-2. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. In this instance, the authors have presented citations from the aforementioned research paper as direct text. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article has not properly observed the ethics of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
