ALPSP SEMINAR: PLAGIARISM - DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT
Wednesday 30 September 2009
Royal College of Pathologists, 2 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AF
(http://www.alpsp.org/ngen_public/article.asp?aid=69340)
Chair: HARVEY MARCOVITCH, Past Chair of COPE
Plagiarism has long been a problem for authors, readers and publishers and
in an increasingly digital world, it has become far easier to find and
appropriate the content of others. However, the same technology also makes
it easier to spot cases of plagiarism by rapidly comparing sequences of text
against large databases of existing published material.
This seminar will explore the technologies available for detecting potential
cases of plagiarism and their practical application to the publishing
workflow. It will also cover the crucial issue of how cases are handled and
what sort of action can be taken, both from the publisher's perspective and
that of the university or research organisation. As well as text plagiarism,
the seminar will also look at the related area of image falsification and
its detection.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Editorial and Production staff in both books and journals
operations.
