On Recycling Our Own Work in the Digital Age
- 2015
Computer Science
This chapter’s discussion of recycling work is grounded in the notion that authors of scientific and scholarly material enter into an implicit contract with their readers, such that a reader will process this type of content under the assumption that such works are accurate, original to the author, and not previously disseminated.
Déjà vu - A study of duplicate citations in Medline
- 2008
Medicine
Using text similarity searches, a database of manually verified duplicate citations was created to study author publication behavior and found that 0.04% of the citations with no shared authors were highly similar and are thus potential cases of plagiarism.
Identifying duplicate content using statistically improbable phrases
- 2010
Computer Science
A method of analyzing statistically improbable phrases (SIPs) for assistance in identifying duplicate content is derived, which substantially improves upon previous algorithms in the detection of duplication citations.
A Text-Analytic Method for Identifying Text Recycling in STEM Research Reports
- 2019
Computer Science
While the algorithm shown in this paper has broad applicability to fields across the STEM disciplines, much work remains to uncover whether separate, genre-sensitive algorithms may be required to study TR in other contexts.
Déjà vu: a database of highly similar citations in the scientific literature
- 2009
Computer Science, Medicine
Déjà vu is made available, a publicly available database of highly similar Medline citations identified by the text similarity search engine eTBLAST, which helps authors and editors to identify highly similar citations, which sometimes may represent cases of unethical duplication.
PLAGIARISM SYNDROME – TOWARDS A COMMON UNDERSTANDING
