The list of plagiarism incidents is a summary of notable publicized affairs wherein plagiarism was center of scrutiny. == Notable cases in academia == * The 11th-century Muslim scholar Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi considered the ''Book of Animals'' of Al-Jahiz (d. 869) to be "little more than a plagiarism" of Aristotle's ''Kitāb al-Hayawān'', a charge that was once levelled against Aristotle himself with regard to a certain "Asclepiades of Pergamum". Later scholars have noted that there was only a limited Aristotelian influence in al-Jahiz's work, and that al-Baghdadi may have been unacquainted with Aristotle's work. * James A. Mackay, a Scottish historian, was forced to withdraw all copies of his biography of Alexander Graham Bell from circulation in 1998 because he plagiarized the last major work on the subject, a 1973 work. Also accused of plagiarizing material on biographies of Mary, Queen of Scots, Andrew Carnegie, and Sir William Wallace, he was forced to withdraw his next work, on John Paul Jones, in 1999 for an identical reason. *Marks Chabedi, a professor at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, plagiarized his doctoral thesis. He used a work written by Kimberly Lanegran at the University of Florida and copied it nearly verbatim before submitting it to The New School. When Lanegran discovered this, she launched an investigation into Chabedi. He was fired from his professorship, and The New School revoked his Ph.D. * Historian Stephen Ambrose has been criticized for incorporating passages from the works of other authors into many of his books. He was first accused in 2002 by two writers for copying portions about World War II bomber pilots from Thomas Childers's ''The Wings of Morning'' in his book ''The Wild Blue''. After Ambrose admitted to the errors, the ''New York Times'' found further unattributed passages, and "Mr. Ambrose again acknowledged his errors and promised to correct them in later editions." *Norman Finkelstein has charged Alan Dershowitz with committing plagiarism by using material from Joan Peters's 1984 book ''From Time Immemorial'' in his book ''The Case for Israel'', without giving proper credit.〔Norman Finkelstein, 2005: Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History. U of California P, ISBN 0-520-24598-9; Michael C. Desch, "The Chutzpah of Alan Dershowitz," The American Conservative 5 December 2005, online posting, normanfinkelstein.com; Mandy Garner,"The Good Jewish Boys Go into Battle," Times Higher Education Supplement, 16 December 2005; Frank J.

In 2002, when the similarities between Goodwin's and McTaggart's books became public, Goodwin stated that she had an understanding that citations would not be required for all references, and that extensive footnotes already existed. Many doubted her claims, and she was forced to resign from the Pulitzer Prize board. *Mathematician and computer scientist Dănuţ Marcu claims to have published over 383 original papers in various scientific publications. A number of his recent papers have been shown to be exact copies of papers published earlier by other authors.〔http://l1.lamsade.dauphine.fr/~bouyssou/Marcu.pdf〕 *A University of Colorado investigating committee found Ethnic Studies professor and activist Ward Churchill guilty of multiple counts of plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification.

He was suspended from his post at Tilburg University in September 2011. He voluntarily gave up his PhD and was being prosecuted in Netherlands with the possibility of facing jail time. After a settlement with Dutch prosecutors, Mr. Stapel will do 120 hours of community service, and decline disability and illness benefits that would have added up to 18 months’ worth of salary. * A 2013 review paper by Öner Özdemir from Turkey was retracted from the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine (JEBCAM) since the author had "patched the paper together from a variety of other sources" as well as his own previous work without proper citation. The website Retraction Watch also reported that in the retracted article they found sections with nearly identical wording to an earlier paper by Özdemir.〔 * In Sept 2012, a Canada research chair and Professor Dongqing Li at the University of Waterloo, and his student Yasaman Daghighi, issued a retraction for using text and figures that originated with other researchers. “Dongqing Li declared himself that he regards this case clearly being plagiarism,”.〔National Post, 'Top Canadian scientist and award-winning student caught in ‘blatant plagiarism’ of text' ()〕 As a consequence, Li was suspended from the university without pay for four months, from April 1, 2013 to July 31, 2013. * In 2012, IEEE posted "Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles" regarding a paper by Md.
