The above article became to belatedly recognized by the editor of Journal of Korean Medical Science (JKMS) having almost same contents with an article which appeared in Korean Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care (=Hankook Hospice Wanhuaeuiryohakhoeji in Korean) 2003;6:152-63, entitled, Reliability and Validity of the Evaluation of Korean Cancer Pain Assessment Tool (K-CPAT). The 2003 article was written in Korean language, and authored by Youn Seon Choi, June young Lee, Jin No Park, Myung Ah Lee, Chang Hwan Yeom and Se Kwon Jang (with corresponding author Dr. J. Lee). Both articles shared same contents of four tables, appendix and message.
The executive board for publication of the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences discussed the matter on 12 October 2006, concluded that the JKMS article was a duplicate publication, and resolved to retract the article in order to respect copy right of the Korean Society of Hospice and Palliative Care. Korean Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care have been indexed neither in PubMed nor in KoreaMed. The corresponding author of the article, Dr. Y.S. Choi, accepted the allegation of the duplicate publication.
