Guest Editorial - Plagiarism

Kaynak, O.; Braun, R.; Kennedy, I.
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EDUCATION, VOL. 51, NO. 2, MAY 2008

WELCOME to this special issue on plagiarism. One aim of this special issue is to sensitize academics, referees, authors, and editors to the need to watch for plagiarism. The issue contains ten interesting and insightful papers on the topic. We have included a good mix of practice and theory, program, and ethics. However, we were not convinced that a paper full of URLs pointing to all the paper mills was a good idea. Students also read the TRANSACTIONS!
