Ethiopia sits at 47% of the global-high rate — well within the lower half of tracked countries.

These figures count detected and reported plagiarism retractions, not total plagiarism. Coverage reflects English-language-indexed journals; a country with stronger oversight may record more, not necessarily commit more. See the methodology for the full caveats.
