The Complete Guide to Referencing and Avoiding Plagarism
by
ISBN: 9780335241040Publication Date: 2010-01-01This excellent new edition of The Complete Guide to Referencing and Avoiding Plagiarism will continue to demystify the referencing process and provide essential guidance on making sure you are not committing plagiarism.
Food for thought
In the world outside of colleges and universities, self-plagiariam can lead to serious issues. There are even guidelines written to discuss the ethics and issues as to why authors should not "magnify" research findings by publishing things in more than one journal.
For Example:
"a description of a serious adverse pulmonary effect associated with a new drug used to treat cardiovascular patients was published twice, five months apart in different journals. Although the authors were different, they wrote from the same medical school about patients that appear identical. Any researcher counting the incidence of complications associated with this drug from the published literature could easily be misled into concluding that the incidence is higher than it really is (p.1).” (source: https://ori.hhs.gov/plagiarism-16)
Why would that be an issue?
- Redundant publication practices can distort the conclusion
- Some meta-analytic studies have been contaminated by duplicate data
- Provenance of the data could be in doubt
- Treatment of a patient based on multiple (duplicate) articles could negatively affect the patient
- All of the above
