Academic Plagiarism Should Be Effectively Controlled
Academic plagiarism has been widely reported and the true scale of it is alarming or even beyond our imagination. Jude Carroll, a plagiarism expert, says that the cases we hear about are probably just the tip of the iceberg. Academic plagiarism, or intellectual stealing, may appear in various forms, from more conspicuous stealing of others’ work wiouth acknowledgement to less obvious self-plagiarism where the same work is sent to different journals. While presenting academic notes and lecture materials online provides evidence for tracking violations, it is no simple task to detect and eradicate plagiaristic copying which to a large extent results from today’s “publish or perish” environment. I personally believe that academic plagiarism should be effectively contained.
It is self-evident that no reputation is immune to stealing in particular when it comes to academic stealing. It is not rare to hear that a professor or a high-level corporate leader, once found to have plagiarized, is immediately fired. The direct impact of plagiarism is on the individual involved, since this person has so lost his or her credibility that his or her career may be ruined. The hidden impact is on the society because the previously prestigious person has gained notoriety and thus has difficulty finding a respectable job, let alone contributing to society.
Another reason why I am strongly opposed to academic plagiarism is that it is bound to hinder social advancement. It is well acknowledged that social progress is spurred by academic innovation, while plagiarism, at its best physical work, stifles innovation and creativity of the academia, thereby pulling back the chariot of social development. And some intellectuals’ enthusiasm for research would be extinguished since academic offending is hard to detect and plagiarists therefore do not receive their due penalty.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that plargiarism in any form poses a threat to both individual and society as a whole. Given its negative consequences, more resources should be devoted to effectively cracking down on academic plagiarism before it runs wild.
