To do this, we will be adopting a resume format with four key sections — objective section, core competence section, job experience section, and

The story really starts with my first piece on the Wegman report just over a year ago, which noted unmistakable copying of unattributed antecedent sources in
background sections on tree ring proxies (taken from Bradley's text book Paleoclimatology: Reconstructing Climates of the Quaternary) and on social networks (identifying Wikipedia, as well as and Wasserman and Faust as obvious sources).
Fact and
background sections of briefs plod along as if the writer could care less about the only person who matters, the reader.
However, in a bizarre twist, it appears that the committee did not even consider side - by - side comparison of the Wegman Report's long and
unreferenced background section on social network analysis, part of which was reused in the later CSDA article and gave rise to the plagiarism finding in the other GMU case!
After a
brief background section on the relevant articles of the Protocol, the paper estimates the capacity of the world's forests for carbon uptake, and projects the associated costs of doing so.
However, in a bizarre twist, it appears that the committee did not even consider side - by - side comparison of the Wegman Report's long and

Profiles have a quick view to help you see things fast, a tab for appearance info, a faith - specific section,
a background section, photos, and a nice intro from the match about themselves.
The background section can be used as a teaching tool for students in grades 3 - up.
You may want to share the information from

The first section breaks down the background
As previously described in

Some more «striking similarities» to unattributed antecedents (Wikipedia and a couple of text books) in the Wegman Report... in
the background section on PCA and statistical models, no less!
Eventually, I demonstrated apparent plagiarism in 10 pages of
background sections in the report, as well as in an obscure (but federally funded) follow - up article by Said, Wegman and two other Wegman acolytes.
but there are just plain mistakes of history and method, within
the background section.
[Update, Dec. 24: Lest readers imagine that problems in
the background section on proxies have no impact on Wegman's findings, here is one key finding (number 7 on p. 49):
As mentioned earlier in
our background section, tree ring proxies are typically calibrated to remove low frequency variations.
Subsequently,
the background section on social networks was found to contain material apparently drawn without attribution from a variety of sources, including Wikipedia and several text books.
