Plagiarism: detection and management
Wednesday 30 September (10:00 - 16:40)
Royal College of Pathologists, 2 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AF
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: This seminar will be of interest primarily to Editorial
and Production staff in both books and journals operations.
Speakers include:
David MacNamee, The Lancet
Virginia Barbour, PLoS Medicine
Richard Delahunty, Taylor and Francis
Randell Stephenson, School of Geosciences, Aberdeen University
Professor Bob Allison, University of Sussex
