Do you teach Teaching of Environmental Science(s) et al. (any science

Dear Colleagues:
Do you teach Environmental Science(s) et al. and use "plagiarism" detection
software (e.g., Turnitin)? If "yes",

Hello Ecologgers,
I am doing a small study on plagiarism in science courses as part of an
inquiry project for a graduate course in college teaching. This study was
inspired by my own experiences with plagiarism as a teaching assistant for
introductory entomology courses and one of the outcomes
This is where library research comes in. We have to try to make sure we
are not passing on misinterpretations. If you want to cite something
that Author B has paraphrased from a paper by Author A, then you really
should find the original paper. How do you know Author B really
understood
Dear colleagues,
Two more pennies/euro cents on plagiarism.
I am at the beginning of my career and have up to now published four
papers in peer-reviewed journals. For each of these papers, I have made
a list of the colleagues I quoted the work from (based on the list of
cited references

This is another very important issue. I have reviewers tell me that I

I'm mainly interested in moving from student plagiarism back to
plagiarism in submitted manuscripts.
Are there any data on plagiarism frequencies in publications or
manuscripts submitted for publication? Or is plagiarism such a dirty
secret that no one wants to talk about it? I've found

publications or manuscripts may be used only with permission of the

One suggestion is to reproduce verbatim (with citation of course!!!) the
institution's policy on plagiarism and academic integrity in every syllabus
handed out. I do this and review this when handing out syllabi at the
beginning of the course. The next step I take is lecturing on citing

Dear Ecologgers:
It might seem odd to say this, but the problem is
that in our education (as in yours) knowledge has been
at the top, NOT values (or ethics for that matter).
But then again, japanese (that supposebly do stress
values before knowledge) also have been known to trip
on plagiarism

I have always been somewhat frightened by the zero-tolerance policy of
academic institutions toward plagiarism. This is, in part, because I
feel it would be very easy to accidentally commit plagiarism by simply
forgetting to insert a citation. In my view, there are at least five

There are many cases of scientists independently arriving at the same idea,
but normally plagiarism means that one has directly copied from anothers
work, as evidenced by similar or identical wording.

Your post reads so well I am tempted to consider plagiarism! :) Thank
you for a very thoughtful perspective. I was saddened to read that this
behavior is on the rise, but I agree with you: we can't throw out the
baby with the bathwater.

intentional. The editor, much to my surprise, did not reprimand the
author, rather he accepted the paper under the provision that the
author rewrite the Discussion. Was this the correct response on the
part of the editor? Is this even considered plagiarism

by the plagiarism (as I was), while others would have been flattered

manuscript was rejected, I am not totally convinced that the
punishment (i.e., rejected manuscript) fit
on my findings, the editor quickly rejected the
manuscript and discouraged the authors from submitting it
elsewhere. After sharing the experience with my colleagues, I was

Alan,
Plagiarism has many forms, some quite subtle. It is incumbent upon us to
teach our students, particularly graduate students, about the forms of
academic dishonesty and how to recognize and avoid treacherous ground.
I include below a snippet from a handout on academic dishonesty that I
use
Unfortunately there are many forms of academic dishonesty, some of which are
of epidemic proportion. Plagiarism is bad, but I think the practice of
ripping vital pages out of books on reserve is worse. As for the comment
that the internet faclitates plagiarism, it also facilitates finding

If that is the student's fourth documented occurrence of plagiarism, you can
rest assured that there was a whole lot more that was undocumented. I have
