A lecturer at Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), in Indonesia, was stripped of his doctorate in 2010 after it was found he plagiarized a paper he claimed to have written.

His article was published in an IEEE conference proceeding and posted in the IEEE Xplore digital library. After an allegation was made, IEEE investigated and determined that the lecturer had copied the work of an Austrian researcher.

He has since resigned from ITB. IEEE has published a note in IEEE Xplore regarding the plagiarism, saying the article violates IEEE's publication principles,because it contains a nearly complete duplication of another researcher's paper that had been published in 2000 in the Proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Database and Expert System Applications.

The former lecturer has also been prohibited from publishing in all IEEEpublications for three years, beginning in April 2009.
