So, I\u2019ve often wondered how \u201cgrown up\u201d researchers could copy another person\u2019s work. Don\u2019t they understand that this is plagiarism? How could they expect to get away with it? Plagiarism in academia isn\u2019t a single, uniform concept. There are many types of plagiarism, and not all of them are cases of black and white.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Types of Plagiarism\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><em>Mosaic Plagiarism: Definition and Example<\/em><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Mosaic plagiarism occurs when you use a few synonyms for the original author\u2019s text or make some minor grammatical modifications in it, without really altering the structure of the work or rephrasing it in your own words. You\u2019re basically \u201cpatching up\u201d the plagiarized text. Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Source text: Dimwitted disorder has been characterized by structural and functional abnormalities in the brain regions responsible for executive functioning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Your text: Dimwitted disorder <strong>is<\/strong> characterized by structural and functional abnormalities in the brain regions <strong>that are <\/strong>responsible for executive functioning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><em>Self Plagiarism<\/em><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Self-plagiarism occurs when you \u201crecycle\u201d your previous work extensively. Sometimes, this might be acceptable if you properly cite those works and clearly explain to the journal why you\u2019ve heavily relied on them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/publicationethics.org\/case\/self-plagiarism\">Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)<\/a> published an interesting case study of an author who submitted a review article that had sentences and paragraphs duplicating their previous works. Ultimately, the review article was deemed to have self-plagiarism, and it was rejected from the journal in question.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><em>Direct vs. Indirect Plagiarism<\/em><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Do you really need an explanation of direct plagiarism? It\u2019s copying someone else\u2019s words into your research paper without proper attribution (like a citation). An even more egregious form of direct plagiarism is <strong>complete<\/strong> or <strong>global plagiarism<\/strong>: taking the credit for someone else\u2019s writing. Like when a university student pays someone else to write their essay and then passes off the essay as their own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Indirect plagiarism is also called \u201cparaphrasing plagiarism.\u201d Here, the writer uses someone else\u2019s ideas, paraphrasing them but not giving the original author credit. Simply put, you\u2019re plagiarizing someone else\u2019s work if you\u2019re presenting their arguments or ideas as your own work, even if you\u2019re using your own words.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you&#8217;re worried about getting flagged for plagiarism, Editage&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/services\/desk-rejection-shield\">Desk Rejection Shield<\/a> service includes a plagiarism check run via iThenticate, along with a detailed submission readiness check and manuscript formatting.<\/p>\r\n<h2>How can I avoid plagiarism in my research paper?<\/h2>\r\n<p>The basic steps to avoid plagiarism while writing a research paper are<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Keep track of what papers you&#8217;re reading<\/li>\r\n<li>Add citations to those papers as soon as you refer to them in your article<\/li>\r\n<li>Describe those papers and their findings in your own words, adding your critique or opinions.<\/li>\r\n<li>Use quotation marks or block quotes for text that you\u00a0<em>must<\/em> duplicate from another paper.<\/li>\r\n<li>When in doubt, add a citation for any statement that is not your own opinion or directly describing what you did and found in your study<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2>Why does my paper have a high similarity score on a plagiarism detector?<\/h2>\r\n<p>A high similarity score on a plagiarism detector implies that a substantial amount of text in your paper duplicates existing material.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What do I do if my research paper gets a high similarity score on a plagiarism detector?<\/h2>\r\n<p>If you get a high similarity score on a plagiarism detector, your next steps are<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Critically review the portions flagged as plagiarized.<\/li>\r\n<li>Add citations for those portions and rewrite them in your own words.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Make sure sections like the Reference list have been excluded from the plagiarism detector<\/li>\r\n<li>If the report shows common phrases in academic writing (e.g., &#8220;All participants gave informed consent&#8221;), you don&#8217;t need to change those. But explain this to your professor, adviser, or journal editorial office.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI and Plagiarism<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>When everyone around you is using ChatGPT and turning out flawless, sophisticated writing, why can\u2019t <em>you <\/em>use an LLM (large language model) to write your research paper? That\u2019s the burning question many researchers are asking today. \u00a0As per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/the-icmje-recommendations-on-ai-advice-for-authors-and-peer-reviewers?refer=insights-search-posts\">guidelines from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors<\/a>, no AI tool can actually \u201cwrite\u201d a research paper. Being an author on a research paper means that you take responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of its content. An LLM or an AI-based tool can\u2019t do that.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Other researchers also warn that AI-generated content can\u2019t always be trusted. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7550313\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ryan (2020)<\/a> warns \u201ceven complex machines such as AI should not be viewed as trustworthy as this undermines the value of interpersonal trust, anthropomorphises AI, and diverts responsibility from those developing and using them.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36989584\/\">Vaishya et al. (2023)<\/a>, in a study specifically on ChatGPT, concluded that it \u201cmay be useful in a limited manner [\u2026], however, researchers are advised to fact check all statements provided, keeping in mind its limitations.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do Journals Screen for AI in Submitted Papers?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Yes! <a href=\"https:\/\/authors.bmj.com\/policies\/ai-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BMJ<\/a>, for example, warns authors that \u201cWe may, on a systematic or case by case basis, use screening tools pre-publication to assist with the identification of content generated (in whole or in part) through AI technologies. We may also use such tools post-publication.\u201d Publishers like <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mdpi.com\/2024\/04\/04\/ai-tools-for-researchers\/#:~:text=Ethicality%20is%20an%20AI%20tool,identify%20potentially%20AI%2Dgenerated%20publications.\">MDPI<\/a> use tools like Ethicality to identify potentially AI-generated articles.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Bottom line: even if the journal you\u2019re submitting to doesn\u2019t explicitly ban you from using AI-generated text, you should not directly copy and paste an entire article from ChatGPT or any AI tool. And for now, NEVER use AI-generated images as a substitute for regular scientific figures. Publishers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elsevier.com\/en-in\/about\/policies-and-standards\/the-use-of-generative-ai-and-ai-assisted-technologies-in-writing-for-elsevier\">Elsevier<\/a>, for example, allow authors to use AI tools to \u201cimprove readability and language of the work\u201d subject to \u201chuman oversight and control\u201d but directly forbid the use of AI to create or alter images. Like plagiarism checkers such as iThenticate have become fairly widespread among journals, assume that AI screening tools will also become equally popular as part of the article screening process.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about different types of plagiarism, including AI-related
