Information <\/a>.<\/p>\nMarianne Stidsen’s resignation comes after a long process in which she has been criticised for plagiarising encyclopaedias and journalistic articles in two of her books.<\/p>\n
The associate professor resigned just as the Faculty of Humanities announced that her doctoral dissertation, Den ny mimesis \u2013 Virkelighedstolkningen i dansk og nordisk litteratur efter Anden Verdenskrig<\/em> [= The\u00a0New Mimesis – The Interpretation of Reality in Danish and Nordic Literature after World War II<\/em>] from 2015, will also be checked for plagiarism.<\/p>\nParaphrasing or plagiarism?<\/h3>\n
In Information, Marianne Stidsen accuses the Danish universities of \u00bbhysterical pedantry\u00ab when it comes to formalities.<\/p>\n
It was a lecturer at the University of Southern Denmark, Carsten Fogh Nielsen, who initially took a closer look at Marianne Stidsen’s latest debate book, K\u00f8n og identitet \u2013 et spadestik dybere<\/em> [In English, Gender and identity – a deeper look<\/em>]. Here, he found long passages copied almost directly from encyclopaedia entries. In the book, Marianne Stidsen states where she took the information from, but does not specify that it was quoted almost directly.<\/p>\nSince then, other observant readers have uncovered passages taken from articles in Weekendavisen, Journalisten, Uniavisen \u2014 the Danish-language version of the University Post, and in Stidsen\u2019s book Den nordiske MeToo-revolution 2018 \u2013 og dens omkostninger<\/em> [In English, the Nordic MeToo Revolution 2018 – and its costs<\/em>] from 2019.<\/p>\nThe distinction between plagiarism and paraphrasing is at the heart of the controversy. Marianne Stidsen maintains that she merely paraphrased the disputed passages.<\/p>\n
\u00bbIt is normal scientific practice. Plagiarism means stealing other people’s texts or ideas. I don\u2019t do that. I cite where they come from. One can always discuss whether I should have moved more words about or paraphrased in a different way,\u00ab said Marianne Stidsen to Information in a previous interview.<\/p>\n
Plagiarised Uniavisen<\/h3>\n
Last week, the Danish-language version of the University Post, Uniavisen, noticed that Marianne Stidsen had used passages from the article Den kr\u00e6nkende sombrero<\/em> [In English, the Offensive Sombrero<\/em>] in her book Den nordiske MeToo-revolution 2018 \u2013 og dens omkostninger<\/em> [In Englsih, the Nordic MeToo Revolution 2018 – and its costs<\/em>], without citing the original text. In the book, there are paraphrased passages, direct quotations and text copied word-for-word from the Uniavisen article.<\/p>\nThe University Post has been in dialogue with Marianne Stidsen since becoming aware of the situation. Although we have submitted documentation, and the industry watchdog Danske Medier has assessed that this is a violation of copyright, Marianne Stidsen has denied having infringed the newspaper’s copyright.<\/p>\n
\u00bbIt has been a very strange situation to be in, where one of the University of Copenhagen’s own employees has copied us. Nevertheless, it is a matter of principle for us that we are properly credited when people use our material, which is why we have tried to reach a compromise with Stidsen. And, as one of our student reporters commented when we were discussing the matter: \u2018If I did that in my thesis, I could be expelled from the University of Copenhagen\u2019. It is difficult to see why different rules should apply to the staff than to the students. I think it is important to show this,\u00ab says Vicki Therkildsen, editor-in-chief of University Post.<\/p>\n
The University Post has reached out to Marianne Stidsen to request an interview about her reasons for resigning.<\/p>\n
The Faculty of Humanities has informed the University Post that the plagiarism investigation of Marianne Stidsen’s doctoral dissertation will continue despite her resignation.

Marianne Stidsen maintains that she merely paraphrased the disputed passages.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt is normal scientific practice. Plagiarism means stealing other people’s texts or ideas. I don\u2019t do that. I cite where they come from. One can always discuss whether I should have moved more words about or paraphrased in a different way,\u00ab said Marianne Stidsen to Information in a previous interview.<\/p>\n<h3>Plagiarised Uniavisen<\/h3>\n<p>Last week, the Danish-language version of the University Post, Uniavisen, noticed that Marianne Stidsen had used passages from the article <em>Den kr\u00e6nkende sombrero<\/em> [In English, <em>the Offensive Sombrero<\/em>] in her book <em>Den nordiske MeToo-revolution 2018 \u2013 og dens omkostninger<\/em> [In Englsih, <em>the Nordic MeToo Revolution 2018 – and its costs<\/em>], without citing the original text. In the book, there are paraphrased passages, direct quotations and text copied word-for-word from the Uniavisen article.<\/p>\n<p>The University Post has been in dialogue with Marianne Stidsen since becoming aware of the situation. Although we have submitted documentation, and the industry watchdog Danske Medier has assessed that this is a violation of copyright, Marianne Stidsen has denied having infringed the newspaper’s copyright.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt has been a very strange situation to be in, where one of the University of Copenhagen’s own employees has copied us. Nevertheless, it is a matter of principle for us that we are properly credited when people use our material, which is why we have tried to reach a compromise with Stidsen. And, as one of our student reporters commented when we were discussing the matter: \u2018If I did that in my thesis, I could be expelled from the University of Copenhagen\u2019. It is difficult to see why different rules should apply to the staff than to the students. I think it is important to show this,\u00ab says Vicki Therkildsen, editor-in-chief of University Post.<\/p>\n<p>The University Post has reached out to Marianne Stidsen to request an interview about her reasons for resigning.<\/p>\n<p>The Faculty of Humanities has informed the University Post that the plagiarism investigation of Marianne Stidsen’s doctoral dissertation will continue despite her resignation.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Newsletter","lang_select":"en","identifier":"Newsletter","headline":"Get an email with our top stories","button_text":"Sign up here","class":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":46,"name":"Science","slug":"science","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":46,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":831,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[{"term_id":5102,"name":"Marianne Stidsen","slug":"marianne-stidsen-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":5102,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":3,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":1096,"name":"Metoo","slug":"metoo-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1096,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":10,"filter":"raw"}],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11487,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nymariannestidsenlille.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126908"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":126946,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126908\/revisions\/126946"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
