Edit/Correction:

Mr. Djebbari worked for Professor Baikun Li. and was first author.

He HAS been fired by Dr. Li, and presumably the other coauthor, who is the Provost at U Conn.

I will thus edit all of the incorrect information I have posted

The discovery of the fraud originated in the University of Connecticut's Research Integrity office, probably after a tip, possibly from one of the authors she plagiarized, or even a co-author.

It's a very serious matter.
