Liberal Canadian prosecutor for elections accused of plagiarism while he was in Oxford: relationship
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing the accusations of having copied parts of his 1995 doctoral thesis to the University of Oxford without the right credit. The report comes while looking for the elections to remain the country’s prosecutor next month, when Canadian voters head to the polls on April 28th.
The National Post examined the thesis of Carney, “the dynamic advantage of the competition”, with three university experts, who found at least 10 cases of apparent plagiarism.
Experts referred to the National Post that Carney copied complete quotes, paraphrase ideas and slightly modified phrases by four different sources without giving adequate credit.
“He is just repeating without quotes. This is plagiarism,” said Geoffrey Sigalet, professor to University of British Columbia Those who help manage cases of bad academic conduct, told the National Post.
The Carney’s campaign replied to the National Post with a statement by his former Oxford supervisor, Margaret Meyer, who rejected the accusations. “I don’t see any proof of plagiarism in the thesis,” he said. “Mark’s work was carefully studied and approved by a faculty committee.”

Meyer also told the National Post that “it is typical that the superimposed language appears” if the sources are regularly referenced.
The University of Oxford defines plagiarism how to “present work or ideas from another source as yours without full recognition”. Another professor, who speaks anonymously at the National Post, said that Carney’s thesis seems to satisfy that definition.
The spokesman for the Carney campaign, Isabella Orozco-Madison, has defined the accusations an “irresponsible incorrect characterization” of his work.
One of the key examples of the National Post report shows Caray to copy a passage of the economist Michael E. Porter of 1990 up close, “The competitive advantage of nations”. On page 206 of his thesis, Carney wrote: “First of all, the intervention of the government can prevent international competition and artificially support domestic profits”. This is almost identical to Porter’s original formulation.

According to reports, Carley has also copied the sections of the Jeremy C. Stein article in 1989 on the Quarterly Journal of Economics and the 1994 HS Shin article on the Rand Journal of Economics, with only slight changes to the formulation.
The possible plagiarism appears throughout the thesis. “It’s all the thesis, not just a part,” said Sigalet. Even small changes of formulation without adequate citation are still considered plagiarism.
Oxford University He warns that plagiarism is a serious crime that can lead to sanctions, including expulsion. “Even when she reformulate something, you still have to mention the source,” added Sigalet.

However, the charges of plagiarism led to resignation and revoked of titles for politicians and academics in the past.
Last year, the president of Harvard University Claudine Gay resigned from the statements of the plagiarism, although he denied the command.
