That's a sort of embezzlement; but `charlatan' implies
that the *content* of the papers is fraudulent.

Does anyone think that the real charlatans in science include the people who 
do "research" which always concludes that the federal government must fund 
more research (in other words, pay the researchers more) and impose new, 
draconian regulations over our lives to save us all from alleged 
environmental catastrophes?
