<p>^ Thanks noobcake. </p>
<p>I am working on changing the by 'author' part. The ezine is actually integrated with MITprospectives boards and i can only use names from registered users. I'll see what I can do. Though I now have mentioned the sources in the articles.</p>
<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross-very similar to Colgate. HC is not that religious and has nice location-1 hour from Boston.</p>
<p>Noobcake has it right in Post #20. "The problem is "by Ajay C." By using that phrase; you are signifying that you wrote them; obviously, as stated in your own words, they are not your writing."</p>
<p>Simply listing the source URL at the bottom of the page of each article is not enough. To avoid plagiarism, you have to delete "by Ajay C." and clearly label each article with its correct author.</p>
<p>I notice that your Evolution Ezine has a copyright warning at the bottom of the page.</p>
<p>"Copyright © 2007, Evolution Magazine, All rights reserved."</p>
<p>Has it occurred to you that the articles you have reproduced on your web site are themselves copyrighted? For example the "Combustion" article has the following notice at the bottom of the page.</p>
<p>"Website copyright by Opentopia 2004-2005. Some content copyrighted and licensed by its respective owners."</p>
<p>Most of the articles come from web sites that have similar copyright notices. You need permission from the copyright holders before you can legally reproduce another person's work. Colleges in the United States are anxious to avoid copyright violations, so most of them warn students and staff to obey the copyright laws.</p>
<p>Since yesterday, I notice that you have moved the articles I was concerned about to Issue #1.</p>
<p>While this change obscures the problem, it does not fix it. You should think very carefully about whether you want admissions officers looking at Evolution Ezine. If they suspect you of plagiarism or of copyright violation, they will reject you.</p>
<p>^ I understand that Fifty. I moved them to #1 for time being. Those articles were submitted to me by my friends and I was not aware that they had been 'pulled' off somewhere else.</p>
<p>I am working on editing the Content Management System to include name of people who are not registered on the board. For now I am removing all of the articles until I can sort it out.</p>
<p>Again I was not aware that these articles were not original works of the submitters. And this was certainly not intentional.</p>
<p>you were valevictorian with a 93 average?</p>
<p>Its the Indian system. In India actually the grade for anything above 75 is an A but WES, the American evaluation company, considers anything above 65 an A for Indian students.</p>
<p>Apparently the curriculum is tougher than its American counterpart.</p>
<p>If English isn't your first language, I would strongly advise you to take the TOEFL. That will help put your SAT scores in some perspective for admissions people.</p>
