Favourite Quotes: - It is never wrong to do the right thing.. (Mark Twain)- "Don't worry about anyone stealing your ideas. If they are any good at all, you'll have to shove them down everyone's throat!". (Howard Aiken) When working with students, always use appropriate tools to check wether their theses or project work presents plagiarism issues: In case of Plagiarism: (a) Make a dossier on this, so that it is clear what happened and what didn't happen in terms of copying parts of a paper (b) Don't let this get to your heart too much (c) Depending on the outcome of a) — which should be done involving also a person not directly involved in the situation (not affected by (b)) — talk witht the most senior author, as good first step. (d) In case you are working with people with such low integrity, confront with them about the issues and stop working with them. In any case I suggest to students to read the following article "Editorial: Do we need to teach ethics to PhD students?": https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/stvr.1659 Some references before making Plagiarism actions: https://www.ieee.org/publications/rights/section-821.html https://www.ieee.org/publications/rights/plagiarism/id-plagiarism.html https://www.comsoc.org/publications/magazines/policy-self-plagiarism https://ethz.ch/students/en/studies/performance-assessments/plagiarism.html https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2005/4/6249-self-plagiarism-in-computer-science/abstract
