A Prof Has Plagiarised My Research. by Nobody: 8:24pm On Sep 12, 2016 |
Some years ago I published a journal . I was listed as the main author together with my major supervisor for my masters lets say Dr. B, I also listed Prof. C as a secondary author. Now Prof C. Has moved to another school and immediately I recieved the pdf copy of the journal I forwarded it to Prof. C. Just to notify him. On the pdf copy of the journal my name is listef as the main author together with Dr. B but Prof C. is only listed as a secondary author. This journal is my original work and I collaborated mostly with Dr. B. Fast forward this morning I was applying for some scholarships and needed to reference my journal so I just googled, Lo and behold Prof C. Has already uploaded the pdf copy of my research on many academic sites. The pdf copy still carries my name and Dr. B as the main author and he as the secondary author but on those sites he claimed to be the main author and totally omitted my name. Although if you go aheaf and download the said journal it still has my name as he only uploafed a pdf copy I sent to him and am sure he has left my name on it cos he couldnt edit it being a pdf format. My concern is will I not be guilty of plagiarism if I lay claim to the journal ? Please note that my name is referenced as the main author on the original site where the journal was published and even the journal has my name listed as the main author. The majot concern is that every other place Prof C. Uploaded that journal he did not invlude my name although the uploaded material carries my name. Please advise 3 Likes 4 Shares |

This is not a serious issue. If you are really the main author... Go ahead and use the journal. Just make sure the prof never teaches you again... If not FFFFFFF 3 Likes |

It is pure plagiarism, neverthe less, write him a mail to lay your complaints about this and ask him to review, recall and reference you appropriately if he has to use your intellectual property. Your email correspondence will serve as evidence in the long run if you decide to press charges against him. Note : I'm not a lawyer but it's just my opinion if I were to be in your shoes. 21 Likes |

Sue him. I will advice writers to always have a back up of their scripts on Dropbox, Google Drive etc, so the evidence of your authorship of the journals can always speak loud. |

Every university has an ethics committee as a body in the senate. Simply write an official letter to them or you write to the Nigerian Universities Commission as a 2nd step if the senate of the university does nothing. Plagiarism is a very serious offence in academic circles and if the Professor is found guilty, that is grounds for outright dismissal from service. 3 Likes |

Hello Op You still have the lead author right because whoever would reference or cite your publication will write your name first e.g Seun et al., 2016 etc. Moreover, he has the right to use the publication because he was listed as a coauthor. What that simply means is that he was part of the research that was carried out irrespective of whatever role he played. Be careful the kind of claims you make. Academics don't joke with plagiarism and stolen intellectual properties. Hear this.... Whether he listed you or not should not concern you at all. What people want to see is the PDF copy and correct citation which I believe carries your name as lead author. Just relax 33 Likes 3 Shares |

Guitarlife:Have you talked about this issue with Dr.B who was your supervisor, if he's aware of this development? As for you being scared whether the people you're applying for a scholarship to, will raise eyebrows about you talking credit for someone else's work, that won't come into the picture because they'll have to download the original journal article and see your name there as the lead author. Your fear is genuine though in case they just resort to checking your publication on Google scholar and not downloading it. 1 Like |

If you're completely no longer at his mercy for anymore supervision or approval, please confront him sharply. If you still need him, first wait small. |

Mail the sites he published your work telling them your story with links to the journal it was first published. With the date on the published work on the journal other sites or journals the prof C used will pull down your article. 4 Likes 1 Share |
