PLAGIARISM IN THE ACADEMY: Here’s an article from the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Here’s an earlier post on the subject. I’ve written about the subject (along with Peter Morgan) at more length in The Appearance of Impropriety, in a chapter that you can read for free online in slightly different form here. My sense is that people are often quick to claim plagiarism on fairly spurious grounds, but that there’s also a lot of real plagiarism out there.
