Published small plagiarism in education journal copies (11)

I believe the answer is:

transcribes

'copies' is the definition.

'published small plagiarism in education journal' is the wordplay.
'published' becomes 'ran' (running is a kind of publishing).
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'plagiarism' becomes 'crib' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'education journal' becomes 'tes' (Times Educational Supplement).
'ran'+'s'+'crib'='ranscrib'
'ranscrib' inserted into 'tes' is 'TRANSCRIBES'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
