	Academic Plagiarism
		Academic plagiarism occurs when a writer repeatedly uses more than four words from a printed source without the use of quotation marks and a precise reference to the original source in a work presented as the author's own research and scholarship.
		When an entire academic monograph consists of paraphrased passages, with only a few explanatory comments that frame the paraphrasing, the book is plagiarized even though the author continually refers to the original author of the material cited and does not quote the author without quotation marks.
		Although recycling fraud in academic publications is a gray area many universities implicitly recognize the practice as fraudulent by publishing rules preventing students from submitting essentially the same essay for credit in different courses.

	lifeissues \| Academic Fraud and Conceptual Transfer in Bioethics
		Scientific fraud, even by accounts of those within the field, is running rampant.

	Cronaca: Is academic fraud widespread? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The typical academic career path (at least in the social sciences and humanities) is long, slow, and not very remunerative.
		The stakes are almost always low in academe, making a few thousand dollars very attractive, to say nothing of awards in the tens of thousands (B had a $40,000 year at Stanford for finishing his wonderful book, for instance).
		One reason that academic fraud seems uncommon is that it is often caught (and then hushed up) before it ever makes itself into print.
