One would think they are uploaded into those anti-plagiarization program databases?

>>2542146

>>2542146
One would think... and yet, the book I'm talking about was published by a university press and won awards for scholarship.

Just mix it up. Change words, update phrases, add novel content. It's too easy.

Not like superquantum computers are checking this shit yet.

His classes on Greece on Yale courses are pretty comfy. That "Men of Bronze" book seems like something really interesting, but scihub can't get pass around it neither in jstor or muse.

I feel a tinge of irony if I cite a book from the seventies with "modern" in the tile...
