It isn&#39;t surprising to learn of this type of thing with Americans&#39; political election speeches. Eddie Murphy stars in a fantastic parody movie, The Distinguished Gentleman, about American politics before President Barrack Obama was elected as US President. In it, Eddie&#39;s character, a US Congressman, steals or uses famous speech-lines as he accepts his election from his Florida district. Eddie Murphy said a few lines about the issue being &quot;change; change for the future&quot; and later, a very similar slogan was used by Barack Obama in 2008. If you have not seen the film then I recommend it because it is an interesting film with a decent plot. I&#39;m an Economist and have written papers comparing and contrasting former presidents&#39; speeches, this is not the same thing as plagarism. It is a standards driven and convential sort of mentality. Writing schools try to train students to use effective styles of communication. Plagarism is stealing someone&#39;s writing for personal gain, it is not using the same style format.LJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14259338463561745614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15328831.post-29828188399230096172016-07-13T19:14:11.835+01:002016-07-13T19:14:11.835+01:00I know I am a month late to the party, but I just ...I know I am a month late to the party, but I just encountered this article recently through it being shared on Facebook. I did read the ACM study and was surprised to find that despite the WP post headline claiming that 6 in 10 people share articles without having read them, the ACM study says absolutely nothing of the sort. What the study does say is that 59% of the links that were tweeted where not clicked on by any of the tweeters followers. There is no way of knowing whether the original tweeter had looked at the article before tweeting it or not. <br /><br />This is a case of a reporter, or maybe more of a blogger working under the WP umbrella, not understanding how to read a technical study. So, it is better suited, I think, as an example where reading the actual study is important.<br /><br />I even followed up with the author who was quoted in the WP in a way that seemed to back up her headline, and he confirmed that my interpretation was correct. <br /><br />This isn&#39;t to say that people are not sharing without reading the article first. It is just that the methodology used in the ACM paper is not able to address that question.Michael Shochethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02427210203448114919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15328831.post-45837593048484452482016-06-23T15:55:32.416+01:002016-06-23T15:55:32.416+01:00I wonder about the value and significance of altme...I wonder about the value and significance of altmetrics for scientific articles.Schlindweinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10886750744542234545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15328831.post-47178541153621726722016-05-20T15:20:44.123+01:002016-05-20T15:20:44.123+01:00Thanks for the advertising Sheila.

We definitely would want to include the issues you talk about, and would welcome your comments on how best to shape the priorities to make it/them clear. We&#39;ve already had comments that 7 is too many, and equally that we haven&#39;t included areas. We also looked at many other strategies and reports (and of course the SCL Universal Offers) but there is clearly still work to be done.<br />I hope you fill out the consultation.JuliaC2http://www.blogger.com/profile/10949663231258519619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15328831.post-22220021625079739592016-03-18T16:37:10.117+00:002016-03-18T16:37:10.117+00:00oops!
