Ethical, original scholarship (Antonym: Plagiarism)

Honor the research and writing of those who have gone before. Build relationships. Build allies. Build bridges. Avoid losing everything just to take the easy way out.

This post is for paid subscribers only. If you are:

• A high school student working on a “History Day” presentation,

• An undergraduate writing a senior honors paper,

• A graduate student working on a master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation,

• A PhD engaged in postgraduate research,

• Teacher or professor to any of the above,

• An independent scholar –

If any of the above categories applies to you, and you do not have a paid subscription to this Substack, I respectfully request that you avail yourself of the free seven-day trial and read this post.

Because the issue of plagiarism is a plague upon true scholarship. With OpenAI scraping copyrighted material and students (and professors!) using ChatGPT to generate documents, it’s only going to get worse.

From this point on, paywall.
