- W2295331392 abstract "Imagine a researcher’s horror when he comes across a paper that was published a year after one of his own and presents almost exactly the same theories and ideas. This must be plagiarism! But when he checks the reference list, he realizes that his original work is actually cited— once and only in relation to a minor point. Many other ideas are copied without credit. Is this plagiarism or just bad citation? Unfortunately, it is very unlikely to be the latter. This scenario is a result of an unpleasant phenomenon in academia: the Trojan citation, which makes it appear that all is well, but actually hides several major instances of plagiarism. Although it is not yet clear how widespread this phenomenon is, both journal editors and researchers should be aware of the dangers of this weapon and the stealthy (or perhaps accidental) plagiarist who wields it. Someone who uses a Trojan citation makes reference to a source one time to in order to evade detection (by editors and readers) of bad intentions and provide cover for a deeper, more pervasive plagiarism. In a sense, this makes the original author something of a Bghost author^ of the newer paper, as his contribution to it goes unacknowledged. The Trojan citation is not in itself plagiarism but rather an attempt to dismiss charges of plagiarism; on a basic reading, if the original work is cited, then it isn’t plagiarism. This makes the use of a Trojan citation a much subtler tactic than Bmosaic plagiarism,^where plagiarism of ideas is used alongside direct replication of text (Das and Panjabi 2011).Mosaic plagiarism is quite common (Das and Panjabi 2011), but it is easy to detect because the copying of original text appears alongside the new author’s own phrases. In contrast, the more sophisticated Trojan citation involves neither direct copying of text nor total failure to cite the source. Like the Trojan Horse, which appears benign but hides great danger, the Trojan citation provides a veneer of respectability to the theft of ideas by acknowledging part of the intellectual debt in order to hide plagiarism elsewhere in the work. But the strategy of the plagiarist who deliberately deploys the Trojan citation also has its disadvantages. Had no reference been provided, any charge of plagiarism could then be answered with Bsheer coincidence, I never read that other paper^ (suspicious though such a response might seem). Providing the reference allows the discerning reader (or indeed the author of the original piece) to draw direct comparisons. If all the major points in a paper are also made in an earlier one, but the original paper is only cited in support of one of the points, this is clearly plagiarism. Of course, the Trojan plagiarist, if challenged, might well say that it was simply careless referencing, but that excuse would not be accepted from a first-year undergraduate, much less a seasoned academic. The plagiarist might also reply that the one citation was intended to imply that all the arguments in the newer work were based upon the old, which in turn raises several rather awkward questions: if Bioethical Inquiry (2016) 13:7–9 DOI 10.1007/s11673-015-9696-7" @default.
