As Professor Aaron New documents today on Twitter, AACC owner and Trump evangelical advisor Tim Clinton continues to quietly clean up his citation problems. Good thing too because failure to attribute your work properly is a big problem in professional circles. Look at what the American Counseling Association code of ethics (2014) says:
G.5.b. Plagiarism
Counselors do not plagiarize; that is, they do not present another person’s work as their own.G.5.c. Acknowledging Previous Work
In publications and presentations, counselors acknowledge and give recognition to previous work on the topic by others or self.
Let’s see what Dr. New brings us today.
Here are two screenshots (one before, one after) just to give you one example. These 28 articles have been up for some time with no credit to the original authors. pic.twitter.com/ZDad4kn9mD

If you look at the right side of the tweet, you will see Dan Allender’s name added recently. This has happened since my articles on Clinton’s citation inadequacies have appeared. According to New’s count, 28 articles were on Clinton’s website (owned by AACC which is owned by Clinton) without the true author listed.
Well, @drtimclinton continues to clean up in silence. Until very recently (today?) there were approximately 28 articles on his website that were unattibuted to the original authors. TWENTY-EIGHT. Here they are: pic.twitter.com/26XE9fhz88

Good for Clinton that he is getting those authors names up there. I just wonder how he is going to address the other issues, such as the one I wrote about yesterday. The print article can’t be withdrawn and corrected quietly.
Prof. New asks a good question: Are any AACC members concerned about this? Mainly I have heard from people who don’t feel they can speak up because they fear repercussions. It remains to be seen how seriously Christian counselors take the matters raised over the past week.
