LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I thought this group might be interested in this post on Language Log, which gives some examples of academic papers that have made some strategic word substitutions in order to avoid plagiarism filters (I think “gullible Bayes” is my favorite!)
