It is not the job of the university to spell this out for you, although there probably already is a page on the university web site explaining this and there are many books on the topic.<br /><br />It is not just "a bunch of copied text", but the expression of ideas from someone else. If the words are great, quote them, giving credit. If you paraphrase in your own words, you still give credit, as these are not your thoughts on the topic. It's really very simple: if it is not from you, reference it properly.

It is not like, he is writing the all day and this might be a small part of his work and ideas. There might be responsibilities also from the co-authors and the university itself to not to make the researcher aware of this issues.

If it were not that people like you care about an scandalous academic case like this one, it may not have been even known.<br /><br />Looking at the large number of papers that Nasrulla Memon published we may wonder how much money was spent by Aalborg University in supporting him to attending and publishing all these papers in so many conferences around the world?? This is also another kind of fraud since the papers were plagiarized and given that attending and publishing in conferences is expensive maybe hundreds of thousands of euros were spent in publishing these fake papers.<br /><br />Aalborg University and University of South Denmark should take this case seriously to not allow persons like Mr. Memon to get away with a rubbish PhD thesis and a lot of plagiarized papers. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091218950079982154.post-38956175086321028762013-01-16T02:18:02.043+01:002013-01-16T02:18:02.043+01:00Is the educational career of Memon in Pakistan doc...Is the educational career of Memon in Pakistan documented somewhere?
