Typology of plagiarism and related practices

Typology of plagiarism and related practices


Prepared by Joseph, K.K. Ho Dated: January 15, 2018
Using Ho, J.K.K. 2017. "A survey study of perceptions on the scholar-practitioner notion: The Hong Kong case" Joseph KK Ho e-resources blog December 1 (url address: http://josephho33.blogspot.hk/2017/12/a-survey-study-of-perceptions-on.html).

Type 1: classical plagiarism: no quotation marks and no citations
E.g.  content coming  from http://josephho33.blogspot.hk/2017/12/a-survey-study-of-perceptions-on.html:

Scholar-practitioners are people who are intellectually competent as well as active in pursuing and sharing theoretical knowledge with high practical value to others (Ho, 2014a). For them, scholar-practitioner is their professional identity. Some writers as well as universities that promote their Ph.D. and D.B.A. programmes also specify that scholar-practitioners should hold a doctorate degree (Ho, 2014a). The reason is that these programmes provide vigorous education on research methods and intellectual learning in business management, e.g., Chan (2008), to produce scholar-leaders (Cafolla, 2012). Dwelling on scholar-practitioners in business management, Ho (2014a) points out that, being active in both the academic and business communities creates unique complexity to the career development and work-life balance of scholar-practitioners, e.g., experience of role conflicts. Such complexity facing scholar-practitioners has been studied in the academic literature under four main topics (Ho, 2014a): (i) the profiles and career development patterns of scholar-practitioner, (ii) the role conflicts and professional development challenges, (iii) ways to bridge knowledge-action gap in management, and (iv) formulation of appropriate approaches and contents of business management education. In this regard, a closely related research theme is on the work-life balance management in managerial intellectual learning (Ho, 2014d). 

Type 2: near-plagiarism: Quotation marks added but no citations:

"Scholar-practitioners are people who are intellectually competent as well as active in pursuing and sharing theoretical knowledge with high practical value to others (Ho, 2014a).

Type 3a: Abuse of quotation I: Quotation marks and citations provided, but the size of the copied content large; a few instances

Meaning of citation (re: http://www.plagiarism.org/article/what-is-citation)
A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again, including:
  • information about the author
  • the title of the work
  • the name and location of the company that published your copy of the source
  • the date your copy was published
  • the page numbers of the material you are borrowing
