Intellectual Consensus on Original Works

in Project HOPE5 years ago (edited)

I have masters degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. No degree earner from ANY accredited university from the United States of America fears plagiarism. They either clearly support original works or regect what they learned.

  • Cross posting is what some might consider self plagiarism.
  • It is also known as duplicate publication.

Here is an image I capture directed from an APA intellectual resource via https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/plagiarism

I chose to present as an image so that the reader is reassured that any alteration of my article would require a great effort. Note that I prefer the term duplicate publication because technically we can use a more fundamental definition of plagiarism in discussion than if we include author ethics.

Anyway, I posted this so you can be absolutely certain where the CONSENSUS lies among the intellectual (peer reveiwed) community.


Here is an explanation by the other commonly used standard MLA via https://style.mla.org/plagiarism-and-academic-dishonesty/

Allow me to reinforce again that I excelled in my master degree studies. Ergo I can shed light on the nuance between the two.

  • notice the word "instructor"
  • MLA refers to "honesty POLICIES" which often refers to a specific institution that wishes to educate, hence "instructor"

These points are important because in obtaining a degree many student struggle the concepts of original ideas, so they are sometimes encouraged to not present something entirely new. For researchers and many professionals, we seek to build upon previous work.

For further clarification, the opinion presented against cross posting becomes stronger if a writer were to cross post under a different PEN NAME.

My pen-name/player-avatar/call-sign is the same on both platforms AND I include an "ORIGINALLY POSTED" link back ...[see below]

Thanks @metzli and @project.hope admins for the inspiration. Now it is Fathers day and I do have a family gather to get to so excuse the hasty presentation of this post.

I hope you have a great father's day with your family.

I was a literature major at San Diego State and a High School English Teacher for some years - that is the experience that makes me see cross posting as a form of plagiarism and also the knowledge to help me see that the landscape is changing.

Thank you for the mention. I was very surprised at how many comments my steem publication received, and am happy to see another post chiming in with their opinion.

that figures :)

so

I'm all in with the Wright Bros, but as you might imagine, my now deceased cat was a better typist than I. Also, I'm originally from Jersey... so not all that into proper English ... all the time

Unfortunately, I worked in a Library and am experienced with information science and intelligence gathering.

Nice to meet you. Maybe we can team up. I know you'd often be good for my head. Though I must warn you that I also was a trainer and love to run/trek mountains.

BTW .. what's your take on sharing a link to an image like above [from https://- www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/1200x680_hero/public/2020/06/borg-picard.jpg]

Sharing images is murky here on the blockchain as you are essentially monetizing all of your work.

A GIF shared on Facebook or other centralized social media account puts the burden of monitoring on those who own the platform. Platforms like Pinterest often remove images for this reason.

Also, with memes and the layering of images and words, who owns the work?

I tend to believe that the best way to share images, for those of us who use our writing and blogs as a craft, as opposed to those of us who do it for mere token collection is to always link back to the source where you got your image, and lean towards images which are public domain or gathered from places like unsplash.

For those who are just posting to earn tokens, are they setting us token holders for failure due to their poor backlinking?

Just yesterday I used a google image, which I linked back to the original source, because I was mentioning the movie that the image was from, is that "wrong?" I don't think so. It was linked...

There is a news reporting aspect. I'd say that's where your movie review would fall into. I think it gets murky when a link magically transforms into an image. Seems to me that the only recourse would be to ban link sharing altogether.

actually plagiarism destroys our creativity it stops us to think of our own , when someone has Indulgence of Copyrighting they can never their own content .

I recommend most of the people to try even doing little things but by own Atleast you would feel proud on yourself even if its not appreciated by others

There is indeed an aspect of personal growth.

As long as your content is original I consider you have the right to publish it anywhere and everywhere you want, that's my humble opinion! Oh and happy father's day hehehe

I agree with the addition of providing a link to the first publication. Else if, Google will be the one with the record of original publication. Avoiding plagiarism has advantages for content producers as well.

I want to ask, What if it's an post just for read? Like if I decide to post an article in 10 different social media so that I can get a greater audience.

Am I expected to write 10 different articles on the same topic because I want to publish it on different social media platforms.

If I decide to reference myself shouldn't be a problem at least someone else would.

I really don't understand your concept of self plagiarism

The intent to deceive is a big issue.

Essentially, it's your article so you can give the copyrights to anyone including yourself. Providing a link to where it was first published solves the deception issue. Readers know that the article was cross-published and the subject matter may not be as widely covered as it seems on the surface.

Okay. I think I understand. The intent to deceive can be a major problem.
We can't always know what is someone's mind until his or actions prove otherwise
