According to VroniPlag, which presents both the original theses and the sources from which it says the elements are copied, more than 25 percent of the 227 pages of her thesis contain instances of undocumented citation.
They contend that almost every other page of von der Leyen's 1990 doctoral thesis contains plagiarized passages.
Albeit from different institutions, at least 65% of both the licenciatura and masters theses contained significant or worse plagiarism (Table 5).
Using the text-matching software programs Turnitin and Urkund the author concluded that 75% of the theses contained 'significant' plagiarism (more than 100 word equivalents) and 39% contained 'very much' plagiarism (more than 500 word equivalents).
For example, among economic M.A. graduates and finalists in a Mozambican university, "30% alleged that between10%to50%50% of the students plagiarize in their theses" whereas, in a random sample, all 21 of the selected theses contained plagiarized passages a percentage far higher than what the respondents estimated (Coughlin, 2013, p. 13).
In a presentation of the theses contained in her book, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing, author Joy DeGruy, Ph.D. asked the mixed-race audience, "How many of you think there is white racism?" Everybody in the room raised their hands.
Whereas, by using TurnItIn alone, 70% of 138 theses contained significant or worse plagiarism, the supplemental use of Urkund raised this to 75% (Tables 5 and 6).
Descartes' broadsheet (hereafter referred to as the "1616 Law Thesis") contains an elaborately worded dedication to his maternal uncle, René Brochard, followed by a list of forty statements--thirty-six of which would appear to be commonly held and uncontroversial.
In her PhD thesis containing a chapter on de Silva's work, Damayanthi Niles claims that there is a problem with de Silva's argument in relation to salvation, in that it "reconciles the exclusive Christ-event and the inclusive vision of God's salvific plan purely on Christian terms," and that it does not take the "religious visions and commitments of other faiths seriously".
