Plagiatorstvo - širši pogled

Štos plagiatorstva je v tem, da vzameš delo nekoga drugega in ga predstaviš kot lastnega.

Se pravi v praksi ne moreš v Sloveniji narediti diplomske iz citatov.

Kaj je tu tako težkega za razumeti? Če od nekje copy pastam nek stavek in ne navedem, od kje in od koga sem to vzel, je to plagiat. Če naveden vir, je to citat. Diploma zgolj iz citatov tehnično gledano ni plagiat (če so navedeni), zelo verjetno pa s tako diplomo ne boš prišel niti do zagovora.

Policy on Intellectual Dishonesty and Plagiarism
As a leading international scientific journal, the staff of Environmental Earth Sciences is deeply committed to the practice of intellectual honesty in all dealings. Infractions against generally acceptable standards for research and publication of results are taken very seriously.

Such infractions may include:

• Fabrication – the falsification of research or exaggeration or misrepresentation of data.

• Tampering – altering original data or documents or interfering with the examination of the same.

• Plagiarism – representing the thoughts, words, ideas, discoveries or data of another as one’s own original work. Plagiarism includes copying the work or part of the work of another, either published or unpublished, without giving a proper reference or citation.

Upon receiving report of a suspected offense of intellectual dishonesty, the editorial staff will commence an investigation within 30 days and make every attempt to conclude its findings within 60 days.

If after investigation, the allegation seems to raise valid concerns, the accused author will contacted personally and given an opportunity to address the issue.

The author’s failure to make satisfactory remedy or explanation may result in implementation of any or all of the following measures:

• If the article is still under consideration, it may be rejected and returned to the author.

• If the article has already been published online, an official disclaimer announcing that Environmental Earth Sciences is unable to support the research contained herein because of questions of plagiarism may be placed online next to the article.

• The author may be barred from publishing the results of any future studies in Environmental Earth Sciences.

Originality and Plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

Plagiarism takes many forms, from ‘passing off’ another’s paper as the author’s own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Fora je v tem, da citiran del tvojega dela ne sme biti "bistveni del" dela, pod katerim se podpišeš.
