Now that I've been doing this for a while, sometimes a search for sources throws up content that I've written for someone else. Sue, you can even end up plagiarising yourself.

I always use more than one source but know that it is very easy to find that you have used almost the same phraseology. Like everyone else I try to avoid this and would hope that I don't plagiarize.

It's amazing what the subconscious can absorb. @Bob: Beware the MS Word author field. I found out that someone was subbing out work I had given them by looking there. As a prof, you have to use your judgement on when to throw the book at someone. When I was lecturing, was to give detailed guidance on plagiarism on the first offence, plus loss of a percentage of the marks. Students in their final year who should have known better had to have a plagiarism hearing. @ Dana: Yes, I think it is easy to draw inspiration from others, and as writers, we often file away nice turns of phrase for future use. Whenever I'm not sure, even in a blog post, I ask anyone who knows the source to let me know so that I can attribute it. @ Katherine: Triangulation is an academic technique which works well for all research. @ Simple Mindz: I've had that experience too. If they have Adsense you can click on a link to report them for plagiarising. I don't know how much good it does, though. @ Lillie: Yes, that’s a good idea.

I have gotten that in the past and it bugs me. I have tried to leave a comment on their blog - but they have yet to approve the comment - or change it. I have more of a question then a comment.

This helps me because it becomes more difficult to accidentally take a sentence from the source. One of the things I do is make sure I use more than one source.
