[Corpora-List] (no subject)

[Gill Philip]

Dear Fatimah, corpora readers,

The question really does concern what is and what is not public, as Mike
said earlier.
Independently of who has done the research, or who has paid for it, if the
work has been published (in the widest sense, including conference
presentations, working papers, e-prints as well as paper-print journals and
books) then anyone can do what they want with it... provided that they cite
the source.

If the work has *not* been published, but has been made available in
confidence (to supervisors, journal editors, peer reviewers, etc) and is
then published - presumably without the permission of nor reference to the
original author - then that would almost certainly be illegitimate. One
exception would be if the research is part of a larger project in which
work is expected to be shared between participants in that project.

Unfortunately plagiarism happens, and the victims are usually
young/beginning researchers who do not yet have a network of colleagues to
defend their interests. I sincerely hope your question was just theoretical.

best,
Gill
