Stefan Weber (media Researcher)
Stefan Weber (born 14 June 1970 in Salzburg) is an Austrian media researcher and writer. The mass media often call him "plagiarism hunter" (in German "Plagiatsjäger"). Biography Weber studied journalism and communication science at the University of Salzburg and subsequently worked in Salzburg as a journalist and university lecturer. In 2005 he completed his Habilitation at the University of Vienna. When Weber discovered in 2005 that a Tübingen theologian, in 2004, had copied approximately half of his doctoral thesis more or less verbatim from Weber's own 1996 thesis, he launched a public media campaign to draw attention to the problem of plagiarism in academia. The Tübingen plagiarist had his doctoral degree retracted in July 2005. In addition, he received a criminal court sentence in 2007. In 2007, Weber co-authored a Google-critical study and published the book "The Google-Copy-Paste-Syndrome". In 2011, Weber founded with Gerhard Fröhlich (University of Linz) the "Initi ...
