Dănuţ Marcu

Dănuţ Marcu (born January 11, 1952, Bucharest) is a Romanian mathematician and computer scientist, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Bucharest in 1981. He claims to have authored more than 398 scientific papers.^[1]

Marcu is frequently accused of plagiarism. The editors of Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai, Informatica decided to ban Marcu from their journal for this reason,^[2] as did the editors of 4OR: A Quarterly Journal of Operations Research^[3][4] and the editors of Geombinatorics.^[5] The editors of Geometriae Dedicata state that they suspect Marcu of plagiarism, as he submitted a manuscript which is "more-or-less word for word the same" as a paper by Lindström.^[6] Grossman, Kageyama, Pettet, and anonymous reviewers have accused Marcu of plagiarism in MathSciNet reviews.^[7] According to the managing editors of Menemui Matematik, Marcu's paper in that journal is a well known result in Graph Theory, and the paper "should not have been published".^[8]
