Description
This session places the current view on text-recycling as questionable conduct in a broader context of multiculturalism and legality. A linguistics expert in English for academic purposes sheds light on how re-use of published material can be socio-culturally influenced and how journals editors and professional writers can embrace author diversity without compromising the quality of manuscripts prepared for publications. Following on, a legal expert in scholarly publishing further expands on the ethical and legal implications of text-recycling and how or when this relates to a breach of copyright. Journal editors, writers and authors can all gain from better understanding the notion that research integrity in general is based on global consensus, but that legal ramifications for a breach are lacking international agreement in law. Insight into these topics may help those professionally involved in scholarly publishing to recognize one’s role in how best to address and manage text-recycling issues of concern in a wider context.
