Summary of Forensic Plagiarism Analysis Report: IEEE IoT Newsletter vs. ComputerWorld

   © 2025 Charles Sun. All rights reserved.

On September 14, 2025, I submitted a formal complaint to IEEE regarding documented plagiarism in their IoT Newsletter article "IPv6 and Internet of Things: Prospects for Latin America" (July 17, 2017). The article contains multiple instances of unattributed reuse from my original ComputerWorld piece "No IoT Without IPv6" (May 19, 2016).

🔍 Key Findings

• Total Instances Identified: 7

• Severity Breakdown: 4 Major, 3 Moderate

• Types of Misappropriation:

  • Verbatim copying of slogans and core arguments

  • Paraphrased data and framing without attribution

  • Direct reuse of numeric values and phrasing

  • Concealed citations of expert analysis and market data

📌 Representative Example

ComputerWorld (May 2016): “No IoT Without IPv6” (title); “…the IoT won’t be happening without IPv6.”

IEEE IoT Newsletter (July 2017): “There is no IoT without IPv6.” (¶ 4 & Conclusions)

Classification: Major — Verbatim slogan / core thesis

📊 Full Comparative Evidence Table

The full table documents all seven instances with side-by-side excerpts, paragraph mapping, and severity classification.

📣 Status & Next Steps

The full report was submitted to IEEE on September 14, 2025 with a deadline for corrective action by Friday, September 19, 2025.

If no resolution is reached, the complete evidence package — including visuals, correspondence, and recommended actions — will be published in full and shared with relevant stakeholders.
