Hi Gilbert, I am indeed an expert on plagiarism because as a scientific laborer I have a professional need to know and teach students, fellows and researchers who work with me what is it that constitutes plagiarism. This is because they and I have to write full length peer-reviewed original research articles and grants, as well as review the ones written by others.
But as a health care laborer you do not have a professional need to know about inquisition, the history of Goan temples, the exploits of Tipu Sultan, world economics, and financial management during a recession. So how come you consider yourself an expert in all of these fields? You are also misleading Goanetters about the following things, which will not please the moderators and the authorities who are concerned about accuracy and integrity in public cyberforums: 1. You are telling Goanetters that those who place quoted material within quotes and provide proper attribution and links for them, are the ones who are plagiarizing, not the other way round. 2. You are telling Goanetters that the provision of proper original quotes and links from the internet and elsewhere, as well as proper attribution indicates that those of us who do that, do not know anything about the subject in question, and our knowledge is limited to the quotes we provide. 3. You are telling Goanetters that provision of quotes, links and attributions means that we have not understood what is written in these quotes. 4. You are implying on Goanet that because you copy and paste without using quotation marks and links, or you paraphrase someone else's writings without mentioning the sources and giving them proper credit, your writings have to be regarded as original, and you are not trying to make yourself famous by using other people's work as your own. 5. You are telling Goanetters that any response to your posts on Goanet constitutes spam.
