Guitarlife:I am sure you were referring to a journal article. Do you know the meaning of plagiarism? How can you say someone plagiarized an article he is a co-author? He probably uploaded those in some visibility websites and it has not changed anything. If he is the last person listed in the list of authors, his position is actually better than that of Dr B. It means he is the leader of the Research team. 2 Likes |

Guitarlife: Prof has apologized and will effect the change. That aside, I am now assuming those sites asked for all the authors from your question, Did he include your supervisor as a co-author and left yours out.Did they (the site) specifically ask the name of the main author of the article and he put his name instead of yours? What I do know of in the case of those sites is they ask article you published and you upload them and since you have registered on those sites it will show as an article published by you, whether one is main author or not doesn't matter, the main thing is your name is among the authors. If they now request that you should state who the main author is(which I think doesn't make much sense since the main author is visible on the article you uploaded) then you state who it is. Hope you also know that you and your supervisor can register on those sites individually and upload that same article as an article you have published (in your names) since two of you are authors.If you want your name to show on those sites register and upload all articles in your name simple. When people read through/download those articles they will always see who the main author is. |

Guitarlife: Was d Prof a co-author to the published Journal paper? If he is then he is a part owner of d paper Did d Prof alter d published PDF paper to start with his name? If he did not then claiming d main author is meaningless if he did then he committed academic fraud. D paper shld b referred to as urname et al assuming u ve up to 2 co- authors |

yetseyi: Nothing to debate; guitarlife was just flogging a dead horse. It is the pdf content that will be checked by any meaningful body. They will read through to ensure you too is not doing copy copy. |

Guitarlife: Point of correction, it's paper or publication, not journal. The article in question is a publication or a paper, published alongside other papers by a journal. Once the original paper that was published before in the original journal contains ur name as the corresponding author, then it can never be plagiarism on ur part. It can only be plagiarism on the part of that professor if he uploads those papers on academic sites after removing ur name from the paper itself. So, go ahead and use it for ur referencing. |

For those of you saying taking someone else's work and publishing it online as your own(even when you are a co-author) is not plagiarism, i dont think you really know what you are saying. This is just one example of plagiarism, there are more direct ways like taking the text of the content and changing the authors name to your own name. OP, my advice is to contact the Professor and inform him(in a friendly manner). Its your right. Ordinarily, he should have even contacted you before uploading the work to any site at all. If he fails to do so, just contact those sites and ask them to take down your work. Send your proof to them and they will act accordingly. Your proof may be in any form. It may even be a spiral binding of the original work. They are under obligation to at least listen to you. However, they may have terms that does not explicitly forbid co-authors to publish a document, however all the other authors must be cited appropriately. |

This is not a plagiarism, it is a break in the publishing ethics for journals especially that of "Authorship". You can brief Dr B. |
Re: A Prof Has Plagiarised My Research. by ogbevireo(m): 1:36pm On Sep 13, 2016 |
Guitarlife: Why don't you call him and ask him about it - I mean Prof. C? Then start to contact all the other academic bodies where he submitted it as his paper to complain. Theu will reference the originalto confirm your claims. NB: he can edit the pdf copy. just to let you know. |

"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." What's the fuss about? The above is all that matters. What Prof C did is called self-archiving , anyone on the authors list can index the the paper on free academic sites. You can too. The way I see it, Prof C is doing you a great favor by improving the visibility and availability of your work to boost the paper's citation counts otherwise your paper ain't worth sh*t. BTW, you wrote a paper or an article not a journal |

Re: A Prof Has Plagiarised My Research. by duduade: 6:05pm On Sep 13, 2016 |
kingreign: Hmmmm it was evident the Prof knew what he did.... He knows the consequence..... What if the dude was not bold enough?? |

Re: A Prof Has Plagiarised My Research. by effyzie01(m): 7:20am On Sep 18, 2016 |
ayokunlei: Thanks for the mention, Mr Ayokunlei. I think, as many informed comments here showed, the Op is getting it all wrong. If as the Op said the his article was only 'uploaded' in academic websites (by this perhaps he means the likes of researchgate and academia etc) and not republished, then it's not plagiarism. He should even thank the professor for exposing him to such platforms (which I prefer to call the clubs of academic elites). The professor, being a co-author, has the right to list names of the other authors in whatever order he deems fit; whether his name first and the main author's last or the other way round. I think the Op should also tread carefully. These kinds of soft accusations could land him in big troubles especially if he's in the academics. |
Re: A Prof Has Plagiarised My Research. by Nobody: 8:43am On Sep 18, 2016 |
effyzie01:Thanks for your time. But as I said, the prof did not include my name at all as part of the authors when he listed authors names in those sites. Although the pdf uploaded bears my name but you will only notice that if you downloaded it. If you just visited the sites you wont even see my name. |
Re: A Prof Has Plagiarised My Research. by effyzie01(m): 2:46pm On Sep 18, 2016 |
Guitarlife: I understand, but still this could be a simple oversight from the site's administrators and not the Professor's fault. So please drop the plagiarism charge. It's too weighty. Thanks. |
