Collins from Azusa Pacific University is an interesting case study when it comes to accidental plagiarism.<br><br>In April 2014, he published an article entitled “Can funding for university partnerships between Africa and the US contribute to social development and poverty reduction?” in the journal Higher Education. In May 2015, the article was retracted after editors discovered that it contained plagiarized sentences from work presented at a 2012 conference. <br><a href="http://www.apu.edu/faculty/photos/ccollins.jpg?mdate=1477074170" target="_blank" data-mce-target="_blank"><img src="http://www.apu.edu/faculty/photos/ccollins.jpg?mdate=1477074170" alt="" width="300" height="300" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;"></a><br>When Retraction Watch reached out to Collins about the incident Collins wrote back a lengthy and contrite apology for the incident. Taking full responsibility for the plagiarism, Collins explained that it was a simple error, a matter of him writing verbatim notes from the conference and then pasting them months later, forgetting they were copied.<br></p> </div> <a title="Read More" class="more-link" href="https://www.ithenticate.com/plagiarism-detection-blog/boundaries-of-accidental-plagiarism">Read More</a> </div> <div class="post-item"> <div class="post-header"> <h2><a href="https://www.ithenticate.com/plagiarism-detection-blog/a-different-political-plagiarism-scandal">A Different Political Plagiarism Scandal</a></h2> <div id="hubspot-author_data" class="hubspot-editable" data-hubspot-form-id="author_data" data-hubspot-name="Blog Author"> Posted by <a class="author-link" href="https://www.ithenticate.com/plagiarism-detection-blog/author/jonathan-bailey">Jonathan Bailey</a> on Nov 2, 2016 4:33:21 PM </div> <div class="addthis_inline_share_toolbox"></div> </div> <div class="post-body clearfix"> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/10/15/article-doc-574ce-1SXo597dyDf39bc81fd1eac3c5d2-195_634x443.jpg" target="_blank" data-mce-target="_blank"><img src="http://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/2015/07/29/barack-obama-muhammadu-buhari.jpg" alt="barack-obama-muhammadu-buhari.jpg" width="438" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 438px;" title="barack-obama-muhammadu-buhari.jpg" caption="false" data-constrained="true"></a>On September 8th, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari addressed his nation with a speech announcing a new <br>campaign entitled “Change Begins with Me”. <a href="http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/210515-nigerias-president-buhari-in-fresh-plagiarism-scandal-of-obamas-speech.html" target="_blank">The aim of the campaign</a> is to attack “dishonesty, indolence, unbridled corruption and widespread impunity” in the country. <br></p> </div> <a title="Read More" class="more-link" href="https://www.ithenticate.com/plagiarism-detection-blog/a-different-political-plagiarism-scandal">Read More</a> </div> <div class="post-item"> <div class="post-header"> <h2><a href="https://www.ithenticate.com/plagiarism-detection-blog/when-research-is-a-copy-of-a-copy">When Research is a Copy of a Copy</a></h2> <div id="hubspot-author_data" class="hubspot-editable" data-hubspot-form-id="author_data" data-hubspot-name="Blog Author"> Posted by <a class="author-link" href="https://www.ithenticate.com/plagiarism-detection-blog/author/jonathan-bailey">Jonathan Bailey</a> on Oct 3, 2016 9:55:18 AM </div> <div class="addthis_inline_share_toolbox"></div> </div> <div class="post-body clearfix"> <p><a href="http://retractionwatch.com/2016/09/05/a-plagiarism-loop-authors-copied-from-papers-that-had-copied-from-others/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.ithenticate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12206.jpg?width=268&name=12206.jpg" alt="12206.jpg" width="268" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" srcset="https://www.ithenticate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12206.jpg?width=134&name=12206.jpg 134w, https://www.ithenticate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12206.jpg?width=268&name=12206.jpg 268w, https://www.ithenticate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12206.jpg?width=402&name=12206.jpg 402w, https://www.ithenticate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12206.jpg?width=536&name=12206.jpg 536w, https://www.ithenticate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12206.jpg?width=670&name=12206.jpg 670w, https://www.ithenticate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12206.jpg?width=804&name=12206.jpg 804w" sizes="(max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px">According to a recent post on Retraction Watch</a>, Hossein Jafarzadeh, a PhD candidate at the University of Tehran, has found himself in a unique position: Having had a paper retracted for being a duplicate publication of two papers he co-authored that were, themselves, retracted for plagiarism.<br><br>Jafarzadeh, in 2014, published a pair of papers, one in February and one in July, in the journal Materials Science and Engineering. Those papers were largely identical, so much so that they were both pulled for plagiarism, albeit they were accused of plagiarizing from different sources. <br><br>Karen Abrinia, Jafarzadeh’s co-author on the papers, explained the original plagiarism by saying that they were the result of images that were taken from other papers, She claimed the researchers sent out samples from the research to a 3rd party for microscopic photography but received back images from other papers.<br></p> </div> <a title="Read More" class="more-link"
