Statistics
- Currently there are 92 reviewed fragments documented that are considered to be violations of citation rules. For 73 of them there is no reference given to the source used („Übersetzungsplagiate“, „Verschleierungen“ and „Komplettplagiate“). For 19 fragments the source is given, but the extent of the used text is not made clear („Bauernopfer“).
- The publication has 99 pages that have been analyzed. On a total of 73 of these pages violations of citation rules have been documented. This represents a percentage of 73.7%. The 99 analyzed pages break down with respect to the amount of text parallels encountered as follows:
- 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 42% of the main part of the publication.
- In all, text was taken from 22 sources.
