Originality, Imitation, and Plagiarism : Teaching Writing in the Digital Age Paperback / softback
Edited by Caroline Eisner, Martha Vicinus
Paperback / softback
Description
Somewhat ironically, the Internet makes it both easier to copy and easier to detect copying.
The essays in this volume explore the complex issues of originality, imitation, and plagiarism, especially as they concern students and scholars, while also addressing related issues, ranging from copyright conventions and the ownership of original work, the appropriate dissemination of innovative ideas, and the authority and role of the writer/author.
Throughout these essays, the contributors grapple with their desire to encourage and maintain free access to copyrighted material for noncommercial purposes and also respect the reasonable desires of authors to maintain control over their own work.
It is a timely intervention in national debates about what constitutes original or plagiarized writing.
