Combating Fraud and Plagiarism in the Publication of Academic Research

Jason Prevost, coordinating Chair of the Publication Ethics Committee, and Senior Acquisitions Editor at Brill joins Avi Staiman, CEO of Academic Language Experts, to discuss how publishers handle ethical issues such as plagiarism, questions of authorship, and even fraudulent results. Hear how Jason dealt with a senior professor who refused to credit authorship to his Ph.D. student despite the fact that he wrote a considerable amount of his book. Also, learn how publishers go about retracting problematic research and tracking down the subsequent citations of the faulty research.
