Re: [tips] Self-plagiarism

I'm pleased to have a term for the occasional (well, we hope it's occasional) practice of handing in the same paper for another course. My favorite example of this is when a student handed in a paper with plagiarism from some website sources. He was irate at the F I gave him, and told me, "The la

Re: [tips] Self-plagiarism

The question of the appropriateness of publishing an article in part or in whole that is identical to a previously published one boils down to whether the reader and, therefore, the editor is clearly informed about the nature of the duplication, particularly duplication involving data. Yes, so

Re: [tips] Self-plagiarism

I agree with Annette here. Plagiarism has slightly different meanings in different disciplinary contexts (because we chiefly concerned with the originality of different aspects of the writing in different disciplines). In the context of a primary report of a new scientific study, plagiarism has

I am somewhere between the two, also. I have seen cases of self-plagiarism which I find objectionable. Typically, they have involved a cut-and-paste from one type of publication (e.g., a Psych Review article) to a completely different type of publication (e.g., a sophomore textbook). The

Re: [tips] Self-plagiarism

I'm somewhere between the two. I do think that occasionally we need to restate something and the way we've wordsmithed it over multiple edits really is the best way to say it. But, when you might see yourself duplicating a major subsection of an intro or method, it is probably better to summar

RE: [tips] Self-plagiarism

I agree that it is fine to reproduce certain sections of a paper intact in a subsequent paper and most people cited in the article didn't seem to have a problem with that (especially in the Method section). The main concern is with how much of that can be done while still being considered a new

Re: [tips] Self-plagiarism

I agree with Annette. There are good and better ways to write a succinct explanation of the concept of contrast effects in sensory research. Once I had invested a great deal of time crafting what I thought was "the" best sentence, why would I change it just to avoid plagiarizing myself? I would

I have to disagree with Miguel here... agree with Barbato. I have spent the last decade researching a single paradigm and plan to do so until I retire probably. It has taken me years to phrase some of the basics in the most clear way so that others can understand what I mean. I don't want to hav

RE: [tips] Galileo Was Wrong?

Good points, John. It was really Copernicus who gave us the notion that you could better explain the motions of the planets; it was Kepler who worked out elliptical orbits (but hated them -- circular motion required no explanation, but ellipses do), and Newton who invented gravity to explain th
