Plagiarise ... only be sure to call it research

Article Abstract:

Academics in Britain appear to believe that plagiarism is on the increase, but distinguishing between work influenced by another person and plagiarism is notoriously difficult. It can be argued that influence is unconscious borrowing whereas plagiarism is conscious borrowing, but the law does not distinguish between the two in cases of alleged plagiarism. Plagiarism poses a particular problem for translators of poetry working from the same original. Not only will the translations necessarily show some similarities, but they are bound to have been influenced by earlier successful translations.

Article Abstract:

Writing is a major human skill, and tends to be taken for granted. Designers of symbols for airports argue that symbols need to be used as part of a wider system including the alphabet, to make sense. Symbols for objects are useful but processes are not so easily represented. Some analysts include symbols as part of a definition of writing. Researching old hieroglyphs helps us understand ancient cultures and the meaning of writing and language.
