Statistics

• Currently there are 7 reviewed fragments documented that are considered to be violations of citation rules. For 7 of them there is no reference given to the source used („Verschleierungen“ and „Komplettplagiate“). For 0 fragments the source is given, but the extent of the used text is not made clear („Bauernopfer“).
• The publication has 83 pages that have been analyzed. On a total of 7 of these pages violations of citation rules have been documented. This represents a percentage of 8.4%. The 83 analyzed pages break down with respect to the amount of text parallels encountered as follows:

Percentage text parallels	Number of pages
No text parallels documented	76
0%-50% text parallels	5
50%-75% text parallels	1
75%-100% text parallels	1

From these statistics an extrapolation of the amount of text of the publication under investigation that has been documented as problematic can be estimated (conservatively) as about 2% of the main part of the publication.

• In all, text was taken from 2 sources.

Illustration

The following chart illustrates the amount and the distribution of the text parallel findings. The colours show the type of plagiarism diagnosed:

• grau="Komplettplagiat" (copy & paste): the source of the text parallel is not given, the copy is verbatim.
• rot="Verschleierung" (disguised plagiarism): the source of the text parallel is not given, the copied text will be somewhat modified.
