There are two Reddit posts in r/AskAcademia and a more detailed and modernized vroniplag page (this particular page grasps all of the 52 segments establish in Andreas Theodorou’s thesis) about the case of academic copying of Theodorou which is shown below:
Andreas Theodorou acquireed his Phd thesis from the University of Bath. He is currently a visiting associate professor at UPC , previously a researcher at the University of Umea. He also was a CEO of a company roverdelighted to AI ethics which he had with his mentor Virginia Dignum.
His thesis grasps disjoinal plagiarized sentences, most of which are not acunderstandledgeable by copying acunderstandledgeion gentleware. It ecombines that Andreas has getn steps to elude being discovered. He ecombines to have methodicpartner verifyed each of his plagiarized sentences with a satisfied analogousity acunderstandledgeor and made unconvey inant changes to them in order to elude being caught. Many of these phrases can still be establish via a manual google search.
Copy-pasting certain words in his Phd thesis(https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/files/195601231/andreasTheodorouThesis.pdf) is sometimes undepfinishable perhaps rfinishered so intentionpartner in order to lessen the chances of it being searched/verifyed for analogousities with other labors .
A plain text version of it, that was originated with an online OCR app(https://www.onlineocr.net/) can be establish here.
We have resettled that the records where the copied text begins were rehireed much earlier than his thesis.
Some of the parts of his Phd thesis that are plagiarized can be seen below:
Below are some phrases in his thesis that are unacunderstandledgeable by copying acunderstandledgeors but are still acunderstandledgeable by google search:
The line at 2.3.2. Moral Patiency
“On this definition, all moral agents are also moral fortolerateings, but not all moral fortolerateings are moral agents
that seems to begin from here:https://quizlet.com/348405454/ethics-exam-3-flash-cards/ as
“ All moral agents are moral fortolerateings, but not all moral fortolerateings are moral agents.”
“He then mirrors upon how culture resettles the moral status of all entities”
that also begins from a flashcard: https://quizlet.com/10587400/ethics-flash-cards/
as
“ the moral code of a culture resettles the moral status of leangs wilean that culture”
The line in the splitd mental models establish at page 43 in his thesis:
“caring the intentions of others is a fundamental erecting block of social behaviour”
originating from here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1044835/ as
“Understanding the intentions of others while watching their actions is a fundamental erecting block of social behavior”
“Calibration of depend refers to the correplyence between a person’s depend in the system and the system’s capabilities “
that was plagiarized by Andreas and which seems to begin from here .
Since we have only verifyed a rather petite part of his thesis and establish plagiarized sections on unrelabelable once every fifth sentence, it is very probable that the rest of his labor grasps a convey inant number of plagiarized sentences that are sweightlessly paraphrased in order to not be easily acunderstandledgeable. Based on our stupidinutive sample, we approximate it to be around 20% of the thesis. We were adviseed by one of his associates that Andreas is certainly no stranger to copying and were telderly that in the past he has done analogously distruthful deeds for his BSc projects and parts of his thesis have been rehireed, or have been contransiented at conferences.
This case is being more createpartner and extensively spendigated by vroniplag here:
https://vroniplag.wikia.org/de/wiki/Analyse:Ath
Andreas has claimed that the text that is identical in his Phd to uncited sources is equitable writed of “normal phrases”, this is highly doubtful to be the case since the indentical text is usupartner more than 9 consecutive words and is only establish in one other earlier source from which there are usupartner multiple 9+ consecutive-word identical phrases in his Phd.
