  • How Yesterday’s Plagiarism in Theology Affects the Scholarship of Tomorrow

    Open AccessM V DoughertyARTICLENew Blackfriars2025

    Published discussions of academic plagiarism in theology are uncommon but nevertheless necessary. This article defends the importance of post-publication peer review of prior scholarship in theology as an essential practice for maintaining the reliability of the body of published research literature. Open conversations about violations of research and publication ethics support a culture of scholarly integrity. Two articles published by one proli…

  • After “40 Cases”: The Downstream Citation of Plagiarizing Articles in Medieval and Early Modern Philosophy Research

    M V DoughertyARTICLEVivarium2023

    This article documents how a serial plagiarism case discovered over a decade ago continues to generate negative effects in the downstream research on medieval and early modern philosophy. The ongoing positive citation of the 40 plagiarizing articles and book chapters – including those retracted by their publishers – affects the reliability of later scholarship in several ways. The present state of affairs is the joint result of authors, editors, …

  • The use of confidentiality and anonymity protections as a cover for fraudulent fieldwork data

    Open AccessM V DoughertyARTICLEResearch Ethics2021

Given these protections to interviewees, the integrity of the published findings cannot usually be verified or replicated by third parties, and …

  • Plagiarism in the Sacred Sciences: Three Impediments to Institutional Reform

    M V Dougherty, Philosophy Documentation CenterARTICLEPhilosophy and Theology2020

    This article diagnoses the problem of plagiarism in academic books and articles in the disciplines of philosophy and theology. It identifies three impediments to institutional reform. They are: (1) a misplaced desire to preserve personal and institutional reputations; (2) a failure to recognize that attribution in academic writing admits of degrees; and (3) a disproportionate emphasis on the so-called “intention to plagiarize.” A detailed case st…

  • The Corruption of Philosophical Communication by Translation Plagiarism

    Open AccessM V DoughertyARTICLETheoria2019

    Disguised plagiarism often goes undetected. An especially subtle type of disguised plagiarism is translation plagiarism, which occurs when the work of one author is republished in a different language with authorship credit taken by someone else. I focus on the challenge of demonstrating this subtle variety of plagiarism and examine the corruptive influence that plagiarizing articles exert on unsuspecting researchers who later cite them in the do…
