Here is what ChatGPT said:

Yes, there is strong evidence to suggest that plagiarism may be involved.

The two documents — one by Ashish Garg et al. and another by Taha Sochi — contain very similar structure, content, and phrasing. Here are some key indicators:

1. Identical Purpose and Scope

Both papers claim to:

• Highlight underexplored or neglected areas in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics
• Encourage researchers to focus on these areas
• Discuss novel methods, limitations, and future directions

This alone isn't proof, but the overlap in purpose is unusually close.

2. Parallel Structure and Topics

Both papers are organized in an almost identical way:

• Section 1: Introduction with history and motivation
• Section 2: Detailed list of underexplored topics in sub-subsections Complex geometries Porous media Micro/nano-scale flow Time-dependent behavior Flow in deformable domains Multiphase systems
• Section 3: Introduction of novel tools or computational techniques
• Section 4: Limitations of current models
• Section 5: Conclusions

This mirrored structure is highly suspicious, particularly when coupled with...

3. Extremely Similar Wording

Here are side-by-side comparisons:

Sochi (arXiv)Garg et al. (ChemRxiv)"The purpose of the paper is to highlight and draw the attention to these areas so that researchers...""The objective of this paper is to raise awareness about these relatively neglected or unexplored areas of research, encouraging researchers...""Non-Newtonian flow in geometries of complex morphology...""Geometrical complexity... in tree-like/root-like networks, and deformable boundaries...""Flow in porous media... with ordered and disordered structures...""Flow through porous or fractal-like media... including evolving boundaries...""Non-Newtonian flow in micro- and nano-scale systems...""Micro, Nano and Angstrom Scale Flow Behavior and Scale Effects..."

The wording is not just similar in meaning, but in phrasing, sentence construction, and progression of ideas.

4. Chronology

• Sochi's preprint (arXiv:2504.08945v1) is dated April 11, 2025.
• Garg et al.'s preprint (ChemRxiv DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-9x1kj) was uploaded May 7, 2025.

Unless the similarity is due to mutual authorship or a declared adaptation (neither of which is indicated), the later document may be plagiarizing the earlier one.

Conclusion:

Yes, the similarity is substantial and suspicious. Unless there's a reasonable explanation (e.g. direct collaboration or shared drafts), the second document (by Garg et al.) appears to have copied or paraphrased large parts of Sochi’s earlier work without attribution. This would meet many academic definitions of plagiarism.

@Taha Sochi

I would agree.with conclusion "similarity is substantial and suspicious." Even without chatgpt I can see right away very similar structure and even keywords are in exact same order. It's just that fact - probability to write 13 keywords in the same order is around 1.6*10^-6.
