[[Associated Press]] reported:
"On the plagiarism issue, [[Joseph Biden|Biden]] correctly attributed lines in one of his speeches to former British Labor Party leader [[Neil Kinnock]] on some occasions, but not at an Iowa State Fair debate where Biden was videotaped. In political campaigns, no black mark is too old to dredge up — again. Biden admitted back in 1987 that he had committed plagiarism while a freshman at [[Syracuse University]] law school and that he occasionally used other people's words in his speeches without giving credit.

==Doris Kearns Goodwin==
In 2002, the since defunct ''[[Weekly Standard]]'' questioned the sourcing of the book, ''The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys,'' by the liberal Democratic historian Doris Kearns Goodwin (born 1943), a former contributor to the [[PBS]] ''NewsHour.'' ''The Weekly Standard'' reported that Goodwin did not provide attribution of material taken from three other books, including ''Times to Remember,'' by [[Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy]], the mother of the slain [[John F. Kennedy|Kennedy]] brothers, and ''Kathleen Kennedy: Her Life and Times,'' a study of Kathleen Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington, written by Lynne McTaggart.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.weeklystandard.com/a-historian-and-her-sources/article/2088|author=Bo Crader|title=A Historian and Her Sources|date=January 28, 2002|publisher=''[[Weekly Standard|The Weekly Standard]]''|accessdate=March 23, 2020}}</ref>
According to McTaggart, Goodwin took a third of her book without making attribution. She said that she felt that Goodwin had "lifted out the heart and guts of somebody else's individual expression." McTaggart and Goodwin entered into a "private settlement"' over the matter. In an article in ''[[Time]]'' [[magazine]], Goodwin said, "Though my footnotes repeatedly cited Ms. McTaggart's work, I failed to provide quotation marks for phrases that I had taken verbatim... The larger question for those of us who write history is to understand how citation mistakes can happen."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,197614,00.html|title=How I Caused that Story|publisher=''[[Time magazine|Time]]''|author=Doris Kearns Goodwin|date=January 27, 2002|accessdate=March 23, 2020}}</ref>
In its analysis of the controversy, the liberal ''[[Slate]'' magazine that Goodwin failed to correct the problem in subsequent editions of her book.<ref name=tnoadh>{{cite web|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/chatterbox/2002/01/how_to_curb_the_plagiarism_epidemic.html|title=How To Curb the Plagiarism Epidemic|publisher=''Slate'' magazine|date=January 28, 2002|accessdate=March 23, 2020}}</ref> ''Slate'' also claimed that multiple passages in Goodwin's book on the [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Roosevelts]], entitled ''No Ordinary Time,'' were apparently taken from Joseph Lash's ''Eleanor and Franklin'' and Hugh Gregory Gallagher's ''FDR's Splendid Deception,'' although she "scrupulously" placed footnotes in the material cited. ''[[The Los Angeles Times]]'' reported problems with ''The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys.'' The multiple accusations of plagiarism accusations prompted Goodwin to resign from the board which selects the winners of the [[Pulitzer Prize]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2002/aug/04/nation/na-goodwin4|title=As History Repeats Itself, the Scholar Becomes the Story|publisher=''[[The Los Angeles Times]]''|author=Peter J.
