Sorry to bring this up again but having had a look for through these papers it seems that while the abstracts are almost identical the application of the model used is different. Instead of finding six papers I was only able to find 3 (but six links to papers). For these three papers a large proportion of the material was indeed similar (e.g. methods section made up a bulk of the paper). But as the 2 papers I had access to had different applications of the two model I felt that to say they are the same paper is maybe untrue. If he has a model with a wide range of applications and applies this model to fields as disparate as face recognition and virology it could perhaps be deemed as fitting that they need to be published in journals that people practising in the respective fields read? Using the same abstract over and over is inappropriate and lazy but to me this still doesn't look like he re-used the same paper.

As I said, I have found the paper in many already-published versions, which are clearly public. So its just an additional thing that I have an n+1th version which is confidental. I might have found the self-plagiarism also accidentaly, just by browsing the web. I think it's not against any law if I say: type the following sentence in google and compare the abstracts of the papers that come up.
