 Posted: Mon May 30, 2005 2:28 pm Post subject: Plagiarism at universities |
 |
|
I have had a private mail come to me about a university
teacher on tenure track who is openly plagiarising
material for an upcoming publication from his
subordinates. Said employer says that plagiarising stuff
is a fact of life and get used to it.
What can underlings do when bosses on the up and up rip
off your work at a university to get promoted?
Your thoughts please as I have no direct experience of
this and its churning up the person concerned, and the
object of the plagiarism has been forced to quit his job
already. |

You don't say whether this is in Japan or not. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by the "object of the plagiarism"--the person being plagiarized? (I'm a bit slow this morning.) Still, the Chronicle of Higher Education has several forum threads on this:

The consensus seems to be that beating the person plagiarizing to the punch--say, by placing your research in another journal or even publishing it to the web--is the best revenge. Then, when the other person's "research" comes out, you have them.  |
