Excited to present "Plagiarism and Copyright in an Age of Content Recycling, AI, and Global Discourse" at the ACES: The Society for Editing San Diego conference with Caitlin O'Brien. I hope you'll join us!

You can review our core objectives and an overview of the topics we'll cover in the slide images.

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.

So happy the ACES Guide for New Editors has officially launched. I hope editors everywhere find it a useful resource.

Please share it widely! View and download it via the link in the comments.

We included sections on:
—Exploring possibilities
—Launching your career (training, mentorship, advice from experienced editors, and understanding freelance vs. employee options)
—Ethics
—DEI (conscious language and support for editors from marginalized communities)
—International Perspectives (types of Englishes as well as working with multilingual writers, translated text, and localization)

We concluded the guide with a quick checklist for getting started and a curated list of ACES resources.

I started leading the task force in April 2022, and it’s a thrill to see it come to fruition. 🎉🎉🎉 Such a pleasure planning and writing the guide with task force members Lauren Filippini, Crystal Yang Shelley, and Andrea Klingler — who were all part of endeavor from the beginning.

We started with a survey in 2022, and spent the following year writing the guide. A special thanks to Dr. Krishna Kumar Venkitachalam for volunteering to write the International Perspectives section and to Kimberly Grow for auditing relevant ACES assets.

The survey had the largest response to-date of any ACES survey (over 1,000 responses). And this guide is therefore a culmination of generous advice and knowledge sharing from the editorial community at large. Thank you for making this happen!

And kudos to ACES: The Society for Editing for making an accessibility review happen and agreeing to make the guide a publicly available resource.

Thank you to ACES Marketing & Communications Manager Sasha Nyary for your hard work editing it and your excellent queries and to Moniqa Paullet, ADS for your accessibility review.

So happy that ACES: The Society for Editing accepted our session "Making the Invisible Visible: Editors as Changemakers"...
