Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the importance recognition and compliance level of plagiarism-related behaviors of medical students.
 Methods The survey was conducted in an online survey method for pre-med1, M1, M2 and a total of 396 response data were analyzed. The collected data were analyzed by paired t-tesst, ANOVA, IPA matrix.
 Results The perception that it is important not to engage in plagiarism-related behavior was significantly higher than the compliance. Among plagiarism-related behaviors, it was highly recognized that it was important not to modulation, homework buying, fabrication, idea stealing, but the recognition of importance was low in copying, falsification, plagiarism, and weaving. The compliance was high for homework buying, fabrication, modulation, idea stealing, and falsification, and copying, plagiarism, and weaving were low. The difference between importance- compliance was significant in copying, plagiarism, weaving, and falsification. There were significant differences in perception of importance in copying, idea stealing, plagiarism, weaving, homework buying, and falsification by grade, and only homework buying did not differ in compliance. Differences in importance-compliance according to education level were similar to the results by grade. As a result of the importance-compliance analysis, the first quadrant included falsification, fabrication, homework buying, and idea stealing, while the second quadrant did not show any behaviors. The third quadrant with low both importance and compliance included copying, plagiarism, and weaving, and the fourth quadrant with low importance and high compliance included falsification.
 Conclusions By strengthening education to prevent plagiarism-related behaviors, it is necessary to establishes students' own academic integrity and improve the university culture that complies with plagiarism-related behaviors.
