I received my doctoral degree in Cognitive Studies from Rutgers University in 1989. That same year, I joined the faculty of St. John's University (Staten Island, NY) where I am currently a professor of psychology. Since the early 1990s, I have been carrying out research in the area of academic dishonesty with an emphasis on the problem of student plagiarism. For the past decade or so, my research and writings have also focused on the problems of plagiarism and self-plagiarism in the sciences, including authorship issues falling within the scope of the Responsible Conduct of Research.

 

"Education is one of the few things a person is willing to pay for and not get".  W. L. Bryan

On the purpose of obtaining a college education: "… It isn't to make money. It is, or should be, to understand ourselves and our world better. Thus, educated people make better citizens, better parents and better workers too, and therefore tend to make more money. However, that money is a result, not a purpose. I learned that in college. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone did?" Glenn Cheney in a letter to the NY Times, June 2, 1997.
