1: Thank you much for your very studied responses on Goanet on presentations and publications of medical information. I read them carefully.

JC 1: Grateful and delighted

2: I noticed the shift in your standards as I proceeded reading along. First you claimed that references are needed for everything, including oral presentation (by your medical students). On questions about YOUR teaching presentations, you claim needing references only on PUBLISHED material.

JC 2: I remind you that "research papers' which are READ / PRESENTED at peer review (Friday) Conferences are considered PUBLISHED. My response was in direct response to your query as to what we expect our residents to do.

3: I reviewed YOUR web site TGF. Under "Advisory" about travel to Goa, I read the following which is "cut and paste". I reproduced only the medical information, since this was WRITTEN BY YOU, with your name and degree at the bottom. I noticed there were NO REFERENCES in the body of the text or a listing at the end of the presentation.

JC 3: I agree with you. There are NO references. It is there for the attention of Travelers. It contains exactly the advice I would give & have given in my private office; knowledge which I am expected to possess because of my formal education, qualifications and work experience. The issues here is PLAGIARISM.

Are you suggesting to me that the "stuff'" which is in your AMCHI KHOBOR booklet (cost $5 plus postage) is NOT plagiarised?

.--- 4: Do I presume that the following statements are ALL YOUR PERSONAL "research and original findings?" Some are recommendations - by who?

JC 4: "What findings" are you referring to. Identify them and I will explain. I am not very good at explaining a vacuum

--

5: Are your opinions and conclusions in / on Goa backed by any studies? Should you not be providing a list of references (credit the sources) for the many definitive statements and scientific recommendation? Or is this one standard for you and another for other supurlo Goenkars like me?

JC 5: Please return to the topic of Plagiarism; Back up for research is an entirely different topic

--

6: Or would you say that the TGF web site is not "published material"?

JC 6: It is as published as a blog. It is also quite Free. Did you pay for access?

--

7: And if you credit the source, according to Santosh, you can 'plagiarize'. But how does one know, if the source / reference is not given? Perhaps now we know why some 'insist' to otehrs on reference, while not doing it themselves.:=))

JC 7: I disagree with that premise. Please look up the definition of the word plagiarize. I submit that one does NOT plagiarize if one "credits the source.

--

8: I am not claiming this presentation on your web site is wrong or the information is fraudulent. I think it is helpful. It is just that, you are not following what you so righteously insist others should do. Are you a self-righteous moralist preaching to others? This is my last post on this tet-a-tet.

JC 8: Thanks ....I am normally not accustomed to 'tet-a-tet'; - whatever that is.

--

9: On this Saturday while I am on call, I really enjoyed doing some research on your research, which was researching somebody else's research.:=)) :=))

JC 9: I am glad for you. One must enjoy something ...after all

10: Kind Regards, GL

JC 10: and the same from here ...always, JC
