Die nüchterne Realität der Wissens-Gesellschaft. 1st, 2nd Page.
"Only 6% of the citations are to summarized material. It is in summary that writers demonstrate
comprehension of the larger arguments of a text, working from ideas rather than sentences.
And in the papers we studied, students are not doing that.
Further, 46% of the citations are from the first page of the source in question.
Yes, that really is 46%, and a full 70% come from somewhere in the first two pages...
Our analysis reveals that 94% of the 1,911 citations are at the sentence level—either quotation,
unattributed copying, patchwriting, or paraphrasing. This, we believe, is a stunning statistic"
