Infographic (?): What Plagiarism Looks Like
While this wasn’t specifically designed to be an infographic per-say, I do find it incredibly compelling. The “design” of it could definitely use some tightening up, but it definitely communicates a point. An explanation of the image from Orange Crate Art:
Some enterprising readers (faculty? student-journalists?) have gone through the dissertations of Carl Boening and William Meehan, highlighting every passage in Meehan’s that can be found, word for word, in Boening’s. Neither the University of Alabama (which granted Boening and Meehan their doctorates) nor Jacksonville State University, where Meehan is president, has chosen to take up the obvious questions about plagiarism that Meehan’s dissertation presents.
