DESCRIPTION:Our speaker\, Barcelona resident Mary Ellen Kerans\, is a manus
 cript editor and translator and co-founder of Mediterranean Editors and Tr
 anslators.\nIn a 2010 article in European Science Editing she and Marije d
 e Jager described how copy editors who find plagiarism can intervene “with
 out destroying the author” — a goal set by the World Association of Medica
 l Editors (WAME).Here’s what she says about this upcoming UniSIG meeting:“
 How we talk to authors about plagiarism has concerned me ever since “text 
 recycling” popped up during the first meeting of MET. That same year\, jou
 rnal editors on the WAME online forum were realizing how much textual plag
 iarism (including duplicate papers) they were publishing. The WAME discuss
 ions introduced me to Miguel Roig\, whose memorable plenary talk on the st
 ate of plagiarism research at METM06 left us an important take-away messag
 e: that many university professors held undergraduate students to higher s
 tandards than they followed themselves.Those university professors\, I tho
 ught\, were also the ones supervising PhD writing and co-authoring manuscr
 ipts like many of those we edit. Therefore\, it needn’t surprise us that p
 lagiarism can be found in work done by a generation of scholars writing fr
 om the 90s onward —even in a Harvard president’s papers.But what about the
  specifics of Claudine Gay’s case as reported by the press? How serious wa
 s the “plagiarism” (properly speaking\, the “similarities”) flagged by sof
 tware? Were the similarities interpreted properly by people well-versed in
  her discipline and familiar with the genres of her publications? And for 
 that matter: was she in fact “ousted for plagiarism”?I’ll show some excerp
 ts from the similarity findings in Gay’s papers and discuss how I interpre
 t them. Knowing how to make sense of “similarity” is always relevant to ed
 iting but it’s especially important now that plagiarism detection software
  is being weaponized for political gain.”Registration for this Zoom meetin
 g will close on Thursday 1 February at 18:00\, and the link to the Zoom me
 eting will be emailed to all those who registered. https://www.sense-onlin
