Ripping other peoples articles
-
Hi Dudes I am getting increasingly annoyed at People ripping other peoples articles off the web and submitting them on here under their own name in a clear and obivious ploy to get brownie points on their CV's. I have read two articles in the past 5 minutes that I have seen on other websites, written by other people. Its a shame really that people are dishonest like this, Its only polite, if people based their work on other peoples articles to at least acknowledge this in their own work. The increasing amount of ripped articles that are appearing here are starting to turn me off Codeproject, I used to enjoy reading some fascinating articles and have learnt a fair few things from people on this site. What are your thoughts all? How can this be combatted? JC

Each article has a "Report this" link, where you can post e.g. a link to the other occurences. If you see one, report it. Yes, this is a pain, and no, there is no solely technical solution to that. (At least, al technical solutions would be the opener to an arms race)

What peterchen said. It's a community, and you can help Code Project by reporting the articles.

I started putting a very clear copyright notice on my articles. I also state what websites I've approved for my article. On my website, I also put a link to other locations where the article exists. However, I do occasionally have to report my article being republished without my permission (copyright notices and all) to various places.

I'm assuming you're refering to the articles by Sandeep N Jadhav. The one on MVC seems to be authored by Nimesh Panchal, found here.[^]. The other one is a rip-off of what appears to be several articles: this one[^] msdn[^] and so forth. It's so easy to find these too. Just grab a few words from any sentence and do a quoted google search. :sigh: Marc Pensieve Functional Entanglement vs. Code Entanglement Static Classes Make For Rigid Architectures Some people believe what the bible says.

You could send a mail to submitATcodeprojectDOTcom and it'll go to both Smitha and Chris, and one of them will nuke the guilty articles. Regards, Nish

That's what I was thinking. Armed with the google search API it shouldn't be too complex to make something that randomly grabs lines of the article and feeds it through google to find matching articles. Then all an editor needs to do is look through the articles flagged as having matches, and check if the matches are by the same author -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

Typically, if one of them is, the others are also guaranteed to be so. Regards, Nish

My original and only once submited article on CodeProject : http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/CSkinProgress.asp Other copied article : http://lib.training.ru/Lib/ArticleDetail.aspx?ar=4091&l=&mi=20&mic=163 http://www.xiaozhou.net/ReadNews.asp?NewsID=948 Neither have asked me the right to redistribute my software, even if I don't mind, I have the knowledge to redo it whenever I want, in front of a recruiter if he wants to be sure I own the skills...

Not to say it doesn't happen, but how are you so sure the theft did hapen the other way? EDIT: Nevermind--the original post was about a specific article and not a broad brush swipe as it his first post read.
