     What Jane Goodall did was something that may seem unimportant, but this is actually a major offense. Thanks to an article from a reliable source, The quantity of the number of offenses makes this a major problem. Jane and Gail could be in serious trouble, even if the book isn't released until after all of the mistakes are corrected. If I remember correctly, plagiarism is a felony offense. That means that if this were to be published, then she could be in serious trouble. That makes it a necessity to correct all of the mistakes.

     Jane, Gail, and Grand Central have a lot of correcting to do. If there are a dozen known mistakes, think about how many mistakes there are that are unknown. They are going to have to go through the whole book again and make sure all of there research is properly cited. This isn't just a short term problem though. This is something that could hurt all of their reputations when it comes to publishing in the future. Hopefully they can fix all of the problems and get the book out as soon as possible.

  1. I agree with most of what you have said here regarding Goodall's issue. Could you almost say that their reputations have already been somewhat ruined?
