Date: Sat, April 6
Time: 9:30 am PT
My previous presentations focused on the results of the international survey on plagiarism among writers, editors, and publishing professionals that Andrea Klingler and I completed. This presentation provides a deeper dive into understanding the nuances of plagiarism and copyright, including exploring the role of generative AI.
Full description:
The same weighty word, plagiarism, is applied to everything from confusion about proper paraphrasing to cultural differences to genuinely unethical behavior. This complexity is only amplified by AI, yet almost half of editors have never received professional training on the topic. Join us to discuss plagiarism and copyright myths and assumptions. Learn about the types of plagiarism, possible causes including cultural considerations, and approaches to identifying and communicating about it. Discover what fair use and public domain actually entail, how to evaluate permission needs, the difference between ownership and copyright, and how AI muddies the waters.
