And what about a colleague with whom you wrote and published an article and who then decides on her own initiative to copy and paraphrase full sections of the article, i.e., 4 full pages, (without even informing me and without quoting properly) ? Isn't it pure dishonesty and lack of respect ? I have just discovered this, and I am upset/disappointed/sad/DISGUSTED. This never happened to me, in my 15 years of teaching experience. I have to raise the issue with her, for I need to understand what was in her mind: vanity, opportunism, cynicism ? It is shocking to discover this, above all when considering that you usually write an article with a colleague you regard positively and trustfully.
