Correcting the Scholarly Record for Research Integrity

Beschreibung

This volume is the first book-length study on post-publication responses to academic plagiarism in humanities disciplines. It demonstrates that the correction of the scholarly literature for plagiarism is not a task for editors and publishers alone; each member of the research community has an indispensable role in maintaining the integrity of the published literature in the aftermath of plagiarism. If untreated, academic plagiarism damages the integrity of the scholarly record, corrupts the surrounding academic enterprise, and creates inefficiencies across all levels of knowledge production. By providing case studies from the field of philosophy and related disciplines, the volume exhibits that current post-publication responses to academic plagiarism are insufficient. It catalogues how humanities disciplines fall short in comparison with the natural and biomedical sciences for ensuring the integrity of the body of published research. This volume provides clarity about how to conceptualize the scholarly record, surveys the traditional methods for correcting it, and argues for new interventions to improve the reliability of the body of published research. The book is valuable not only to those in the field of philosophy and other humanities disciplines, but also to those interested in research ethics, meta-science, and the sociology of research.

“Dr. Michael Dougherty’s recently published book provides useful frameworks for thinking about correcting the scholarly record once plagiarism has occurred. … The focus on correcting the scholarly record from the perspective of an experienced whistleblower makes Dougherty’s book particularly insightful and useful. … I applaud Dougherty for this informative and courageous book.” (Mark Fox, Publishing Research Quarterly, Vol. 35, 2019)
“This is a work of illuminating insights, historical depth, and moral clarity in the pursuit of correcting the record of scholarly research from plagiarism. … This volume will stand up as one of the seminal works on plagiarism in the scholarship of academic research in the humanities … .” (Sheldon Krimsky, Accountability in Research, February, 10, 2019)
“Correcting the Scholarly Record for Research Integrity is both a major contribution to publication ethics in general, and at the same time a path-breaking study of the ethics of philosophy publishing. It should be an obligatory item on reading lists for graduate students in philosophy.” (Sven Ove Hansson, Theoria, Vol. 85 (2), 2019)
