Good copy: plagiarism
There is now a scholarly journal devoted to plagiarism, or at least to the study of plagiarism. Called Plagiary, it boasts an academically lurid tagline: "Cross-disciplinary studies in plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification."
One way or another, it makes for good copy. Scott McLemee’s fairly juicy Inside Higher Ed essay published January 25, 2006, mulls the background and place of this new publication.
