Subject: Plagiarism? How to identify?
Dave,
I have an interesting situation that I think the combined resources
of IP could help.
I've just received a consultant's report on Virtual Private Networks
that, based on previous experience, I believe has been by and large
taken wholesale from another source, perhaps a book on the subject.
I cannot find the source on the Web using Google (a technique that
worked very well on a previous report). This could possblly have
been lifted from the ACM digital bookshelf or the IEEE equivalent,
but there's no search tool for them. Does anyone know of a
"plagiarism server" that would help identify this piece or clear it?
Alternatively, I'd be willing to send a sanitized copy of the report
to any IPer who knows this literature well and is intrigued by the
question.
'm sure that this question comes up from time to time, perhaps often,
in a publications environment. How have others handled this question?
