Today, there was an article on plagiarism in the Swiss commuters' newspaper "20 minuten". Please note that the article did not appear in the online edition. The main scope of the article is plagiarism among students and that Swiss universities do not check incoming student submissions with regard to plagiarism. The article's scope lies on student plagiarism and is common for the entire (recent) debate on the topic but is distracting from the actual problem. The actual problem is plagiarism among researchers. This blog post focuses on 8 points that I find important to consider.
