Plagiarism Detection and Management
Chair, Michael Willis |
| |
|
The recent introduction of duplication checking software suitable for scholarly content - CrossCheck - is a great step forward in the effort to detect and prevent plagiarism. Many journals want to adopt it but are unsure how and where to incorporate it into their workflows. There are also concerns about effects on workloads, inflated expectations from editors, the need for specialist human intervention, and what should be done when plagiarism is found. This session will include an up-to-date report on CrossCheck, valuable feedback from surveys and publisher pilot studies, the experiences of journals already using CrossCheck, and possible solutions to the challenges that can arise. |

Social Media
Chair, Sherryl Sundell |

How relevant are social networks and online communities to academic and professional publishing? Are they a distraction or the key to success? There is a bewildering array of tools using web-based technology to communicate, comment and collaborate. If you have not already considered whether or how your journal could benefit from networking communities, tweeting, blogging, social bookmarking or wikis, you will be doing so by the end of this session. |
