Combatting plagiarism in the age of AI

Abstract

Integrity is the heart and soul of any significant academic discourse. As attorney Ronald B. Standler (2012, 5) has observed: “Reputations in academia are made on the basis of creating new knowledge: discoveries of new facts, new ways of looking at previously known facts, original analysis of old ideas, etc. A plagiarist receives credit for expression or analysis that was improperly taken from someone else. In this view, the plagiarist commits fraud, by claiming the work of other people as the plagiarist's own work.”
