New Publications on Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism in Project Studies

Two new publications by Associate Professor Joana Geraldi, Department of Organization (IOA), Copenhagen Business School (CBS) on Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism in Project Studies:

Plagiarism in Project Studies (Project Management Journal)

Abstract
Plagiarism is condemned yet remains a frequently occurring form of academic misconduct. This editorial informs project scholars about plagiarism and Project Management Journal’s (PMJ®) approach to it. We define plagiarism as the theft of words, ideas, and representations, and explain three principles to judge plagiarism based on our expectations on research integrity: honesty, originality, and authorship. Accordingly, plagiarism detection services (PDS) assist but do not limit our judgment. We hope to lay the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of plagiarism in project studies, and thus help (early career) scholars understand the different facets of plagiarism and thereby avoid it.
