Plagiarism, Self-Plagiarism, and Text Recycling: What Researchers Need to Know

Cary Moskovitz, PhD, Director, Writing in the Disciplines, Thompson Writing Program will lead a discussion about plagiarism, the reuse of material written by others without proper attribution. Plagiarism is an important but often misunderstood topic in scientific writing. Text recycling, the reuse of material from one's own prior documents, is even more complex. This talk will examine the ethical and legal complexities of both topics and present best practices across a range of research contexts.
