There have been so many news and blog items during the past week discussing plagiarism at Harvard it has been difficult for us to keep up. Most focus on the latest instance of plagiarism uncovered involving Professor Laurence Tribe and a book he authored in 1985.
Most of the recent items can be pulled up through the following advanced Google search: "Tribe + (plagiarist or plagiarism or plagiarize)."
To make it easier for those interested in these issues to follow recent items, below we set out in chronological order links to the vast majority of the items on Harvard plagiarism which have appeared since we last listed links on September 16. We have done our best to include all items which have any significant comment beyond a simple link to another item we've already included. If anyone has links we have not included, please e-mail them and we will be happy to include them. In the coming days as search engines are updated, we will probably update this post so that it contains all items posted by today, October 3.
We will continue to withhold judgment on this latest story concerning Professor Tribe until he has an opportunity to fully explain the circumstances that led to the similarities between his book and Professor Abraham's book, and to identify what specific material discussed by The Weekly Standard he failed to properly attribute to Professor Abraham (so far he has only stated he improperly failed to attribute "some" of that material). To minimize any editorial slant that might be read into any summary of these items, and to get this list out as quickly as possible, we are simply giving you the links.
We have, however, separated the links to items with relatively more discussion from those with relatively less. So under each date, we first list in bold the items which have relatively more discussion and which seem more important, followed by the items with less discussion in regular typeface.
Note: After we have more time to reread the bolded posts, we will probably identify perhaps a dozen or so as of exceptional importance, which we will mark with a bolded asterisk at the start of the item. If we do update this post in that way, we believe readers who are strongly interested in these issues will want to read all those posts, and perhaps skim some other posts.
We appreciate the many e-mails we have received in the past week, and we are sorry we have not yet had a chance to respond to most of them. Keep them coming! We especially appreciate the other bloggers who have mentioned this blog, and who have e-mailed us with updates on their posts. We would appreciate if bloggers who make further posts on these issues could e-mail us a link, so we can be sure to include it in a future post updating everyone on links.AuthorSkeptics@hotmail.com
