ISSUES IN WRITING  Special Issue: Plagiarism and Copyright

Recent scandals involving plagiarism (intentional or otherwise) by well-known academics have highlighted our need to explore these issues more closely as academics, professional writers, students, teachers, and others attempt to understand and perhaps redefine these terms in the information age.

Possible topics for manuscripts:
--Defining/Redefining plagiarism
--Teaching about plagiarism in the composition classroom
--Patchwriting
--"Originality"
--Corporate authorship
--Accepted/-able forms of plagiarism?
--Protecting/Defining intellectual property in the 21st century
--Electronic publishing and copyrights
--Legal issues faced by academic and non-academic writers

Please send proposal or completed manuscript by August 15, 2002.  (Submissions might be considered after the due date).

ISSUES IN WRITING is an annual, refereed journal devoted to the study of writing in the Arts and Humanities, Science and Technology, Government, Education, Business and Industry, and the professions.

We welcome articles on all aspects of the teaching and production of public writing, and we consider a broad variety of approaches, methodologies, and styles. We accept, for example, research articles that describe, narrate, or report the results of primary or secondary research in the classroom and workplace; practical articles that provide insights into writing as it occurs in the various professional contexts or that describe innovative approaches to the teaching of writing; and articles from theoretical and/or historical perspectives that address problems and issues related to all aspects of academic, professional, and technical writing. We are especially glad to receive articles that link academia and the world of work and that encourage stimulating dialogue across traditional rhetorical and disciplinary boundaries, forms, and roles.

Manuscripts should be 30 pages or less, double-spaced (including appendices or illustrations).  Do not include your name and/or affiliation anywhere on the MS itself.  Authors should use standard English and avoid jargon or provide definitions when using specialized terms.  Provide two clear copies.
