‘Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’, so they say. But can we be so sure?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With not inconsiderable surprise, Sphaleotas has discovered that the Charles S. Peirce Foundation, a hitherto respectable organisation dedicated to supporting education and research related to the work of the founder of American pragmatism, has flagrantly plagiarised the 2013 Avello Publishing Journal Conference’s web page<\/a>\u00a0in its Charles S. Peirce International Centennial Congress 2014 publicity material<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n One would have to be blind not to notice that, onwards of the section ‘III. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: PANELS’, the Foundation brazenly cuts and pastes from Dr Wakefield’s Call for Papers, typographical errors and all.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n It may seem harsh to some, but Sphaleotas feels duty bound to painstakingly enumerate these instances of theft on a line-by-line basis. Indeed, one wonders if this is simply the tip of a particularly lugubrious iceberg.<\/p>\n Jason Wakefield<\/a> [Mirror 2013-04-17<\/a>]:<\/p>\n SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: PANELS<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n Charles S.
