In 2012, a Jaypee published a textbook titled Understanding and Management of Special Child in Pediatric Dentistry which was withdrawn from sale, after it was exposed by James Heilman to contain material that had been plagiarized from a Wikipedia article. Dr. Heilman said: "We do not mind if people publish our work. They do not even have to ask our permission, and they can try to make a profit off of it. They, however, cannot claim it as their own, and they must give us just a little bit of credit."[2]
