- pyre 17y agoPlagiarizing himself? Huh? Is that even possible?
- blasdel 17y agoYes, and it's a big fucking deal in academia -- you're bloating your publications / citations / reputation without actually contributing anything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism#Self-plagiarism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism#Self-plagiarism
- swolchok 17y agoFrom your linked article: "Typically, self-plagiarism is only considered to be a serious ethical issue in settings where a publication is asserted to consist of new material, such as in academic publishing or educational assignments [13]. It does not apply (except in the legal sense) to public-interest texts, such as social, professional, and cultural opinions usually published in newspapers and magazines."
- swolchok 17y agoBoth articles are in Joel's voice and credited to Joel. You can't plagiarize yourself. I also used the word "might". The Founders at Work interview is at http://www.foundersatwork.com/joel-spolksy.html http://www.foundersatwork.com/joel-spolksy.html . The Inc article is not a copy and paste, but it triggered the "seen this before" meter.
