<p>If you are publicly accused, you should also have a chance to have a public defence. (Especially since some plagiarism charges are iffy or misinterpreted – e.g. wrong citation; you looked up various background facts somewhere but had 100 of those in your paper and didn’t cite every single one … ).</p>
