177: Plagiarism
We discuss two recent plagiarism cases, one you've probably heard about and another that you probably haven't heard about if you're outside Norway. We also chat about the parallels between plagiarism and sports doping—would people reconsider academic dishonesty if they were reminded that future technology may catch them out?
Here are some of the takeaways from the episode (generated with the help of AI):
Plagiarism cases can range from minor academic practice issues to more serious instances of copying verbatim
The detection and punishment of plagiarism can vary depending on the context, such as academic journals or internal university issues.
The mindset and motivations behind plagiarism can differ between athletes and students, with athletes often driven by intense competition.
Long-term detectability and the potential consequences of cheating are factors that may discourage individuals from engaging in plagiarism.
Addressing plagiarism requires a balance between identifying genuine cases and avoiding ideological biases.

176: Tracking academic workloads
We chat about a paper on the invisible workload of open science and why academics are so bad at tracking their workloads.
This episode was originally recorded in May 2023 in a hotel room just before our live recording of Episode 169, which is why we refer to the paper as a 'new' paper near the start of the episode.

175: Defending against the scientific dark arts
We chat about a recent blogpost from Dorothy Bishop, in which she proposes a Master course that will provide training in fraud detection—what should such a course specifically teach and where would these people work to apply their training? We also discuss whether open science is a cult that has trouble seeing outward.

Customer Reviews
Entertainingly informative
I really enjoy listening to your podcast! I’m from Thailand, and it’s pretty rare to have anyone engaging in academic conversations with. Also I’m planning to apply for grad programs next year. Your podcast paints some pictures of what PhD life could look like, which gives me tips of what I should be careful of and look for!
