What Goodall did was really serious because she took someone else's hard work and took credit for it by not citing her sources properly. She didn't realize it wasn't cited properly until she was told something. What I think makes it a little less serious is that she was noted about it and she said she is sorry and that she will discus it on her blog and fix her future editions. Goodall did a lot of research to be able to write this book, but when she was doing research her and her co-writer should have found the cited the sources as they went along. To correct it they need to go back and cite the sources that they used.
To go over the situation that had happened with her writing, and thing that was plagiarized needs to be noted so that she can go back and cite her sources. She did all of the research for her book, and found great things that could help it succeed, but she needed to take note of where each thing that she was using. By doing this, she could have at least gone back to be able to cite her sources, but she didn't so she was caught plagiarizing. To help the situation she was in, Goodall said that she would write about it in her blog and also said how sorry she was. Plagiarism is a serious thing, and even if you think you can get away with it, or you don't notice it most the time you will be caught and could get in serious trouble.
