Hi Jeffrey and fellow group members

We did indeed take the matter up with the authors, who confirmed that
the definition of gender in question is taken from a WHO report
(http://www.who.int/topics/gender/en/) and this is referenced in the
paper. We also screen all articles using plagiarism software and
nothing showed up.

Therefore, on this occasion we have taken no further action, but will
continue to be vigilant and respond to queries as they arise.

Kind regards

DAN

In the interest of fairness, I think people should know that I have
documented plagiarism in the first issue (vol. 1, no. 1) of Social
Sciences Directory.  That documentation is in the form of a comment
left after the article in question:

http://www.socialsciencesdirectory.com/index.php/socscidir/comment/view/24/0/4

Mr. Scott did acknowledge my comment in an email to me, but the
questionable article is still there. Perhaps he is continuing his
investigation.

The first issue contains two other articles, one co-authored by one of
the co-authors of the plagiarized article. I have not analyzed the
other two articles for plagiarism.
