COVERT PUBLICATION

Synonym: Augmented publication

Instead of creating an original piece of work, the author adds insignificant additional data and/or information to his/her previously published work and changes title, modifies aim of the study, and recalculates results. Also, it is the omission of cross-citation to own previous publications.
