Plagiary
A
New Scholarly Journal
Over the past decade, cross-disciplinary interest in plagiarism
and other forms of fraud as a focus of study has resulted from various
discourse communities having to deal with serious violations of
scholarship norms. Plagiarism, falsification of data, and fabrications
have tainted the reputations of individuals, institutions, and professions
as a whole.
To bring together the various strands of scholarship which already
exist on the subject, and to create a forum for discussion across
disciplinary boundaries, the new scholarly journal Plagiary
exists. Devoted specifically to the scholarly, cross-disciplinary
study of plagiary and related behaviors
across the disciplines, articles in Plagiary
address the issue of fraudulent contributions to disciplinary discourse
communities and the potential (and actual) corruption of the professional
literature and other genres of discourse as a result of such derivative
and/or fraudulent "contributions" to discoursal
interchange.
Yet along with
such fraudulent representations which seem to be quite common across
various discourse communities, there are also legimate means of
derivative expression, and studies which analyze such topics as
mimicry, parody, pastiche and the like are welcome
for publications consideration.
Launch Date:
January 2006. Papers are being accepted for publications
