Phenomenon Of Plagiarism Research Articles

Plagiarism and piracy as types of copyright infringement in the creative industries

The article examines the concept of violations in the creative industries. It analyses thetypes of infringements that are most common in Ukraine. The main focus is on the analysis ofthe concepts of plagiarism and piracy in Ukrainian legislation and some EU countries.Accordingly, the Laws of Poland and Germany on Copyright and Related Rights do notcontain a definition of plagiarism. Since there is no legal definition of plagiarism, and the phenomenonof plagiarism is quite widespread, the only option for legislative regulation is judicialpractice. In Germany, for example, the concept of plagiarism as an infringement of copyrightapplies not only to literary works but also to works of other art forms. Therefore, byanalogy, it is concluded that plagiarism as an infringement of copyright and/or related rightsin the creative industries is committed not only in the literary or scientific field, but is alsopossible in other art forms, in particular: music, art, choreography, jewellery and costumejewellery, architecture and advertising.The situation is similar with regard to the definition of piracy. In Poland, piracy is usedmainly as a colloquial term. However, it is one of the most common crimes committed onthe Internet. In the German scientific literature, there are different interpretations of theconcept of piracy. Under the German Copyright and Related Rights Act, an author mayprohibit (revoke) the unauthorised posting of his or her work on the Internet. The SwissFederal Law on Copyright and Related Rights provides for a similar provision.However, the purpose of piracy differs from the purpose of plagiarism. In the case ofpiracy, the infringer seeks to gain material benefit and does not intend to create any identificationbetween him or her and the unlawfully used object (pirated film, computer programor database, etc.). In the case of plagiarism, the opposite is true. The infringer wantsconsumers to identify it with the misused intellectual property.Therefore, it is concluded that there is no single, comprehensive and generally accepteddefinition of plagiarism and piracy. The statutory definition of plagiarism and piracy enshrinedin part 2 of Article 53 of the Law differs significantly from the European approachesconsidered.

Paraphrasing Training Using Paraphraser Software as an Effort to Prevent Plagiarism

Currently, the phenomenon of plagiarism among students is still widespread. One effort to overcome plagiarism can be made through paragraph paraphrasing skills. Especially for high school (SMA) students who are the forerunners of students who are required to be productive in writing at least a final assignment publication. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to hold paragraph paraphrasing training using paraphraser software as an effort to prevent plagiarism at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Bandung City. This PkM aims to increase students' knowledge about paraphrasing paragraphs through paraphraser software. Implementation methods: a) situation analysis for partners, b) pre-test implementation, c) provision of material, d) post-test implementation and activity evaluation. The PkM results show an increase in student's knowledge about paragraph paraphrasing through paraphraser software of 94.37 with a significance value of 0.000>0.05. Thus, in general, students are equipped with the knowledge to improve their ability to paraphrase paragraphs using paraphraser software. Apart from that, the students seemed to respond positively. This was proven by the enthusiasm and 100% attendance of the participants.

Pengelolaan Turnitin Di FITK UIN Malang: Kajian Atas Efektivitas Penerapan Scanning Tugas Akhir Untuk Mencegah Plagiarisme

This article discusses the effectiveness of Turnitin scanning at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang which was carried out at the Research and Academic Writing Center (Pusat Penelitian dan Academic Writing, PPAW) on student proposals and thesis. The existence of Turnitin scanning itself is due to seeing the phenomenon of plagiarism among students which until now has been included in the category of concern, so efforts are needed to prevent the negative behavior in the world of education. This article is the result of research that uses a qualitative approach, which is carried out by analyzing the data from Turnitin proposals and thesis for FITK students at PPAW. With purposive sampling method, there are three sample study programs, namely Islamic Religious Education (PAI), Islamic Education Teacher Education (PGMI), and Social Science Education (PIPS). The data analysis in this study uses Miles and Huberman's data analysis techniques, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. There are two conclusions, first, the Turnitin scanning process at PPAW begins with sending proposals and student thesis through the google form that has been provided previously. When getting the similarity results as determined, the student will be sent a plagiarism-free certificate. However, if they fail, the student will be given information regarding this and sent a scan of Turnitin as revision material. The process from start to finish takes 1-5 working days. For students who fail, the submission of new revisions can be done after seven days. Second, it can be concluded in general that Turnitin scanning in PPAW is effective in tackling plagiarism among students, even though there are various delinquency committed by them, namely reducing or adding letters, changing into images, using inappropriate direct quotations, deleting parts that have high similarity, and sending revisions that are not in accordance with a predetermined schedule. Finally, to be more effective, this study recommends several further policies, namely sending in word form with a few exceptions for pages with image formats, examining all files and changing the color to black, making Turnitin scanned files as manuscripts for proposal seminars and munaqasyah, and lastly, providing training on how to write good scientific papers.

The Homework Model of Screening English Teaching Courses Based on Fractional Differential Equations

Abstract The phenomenon of plagiarism in coursework is common among college students. This phenomenon seriously affects the quality of higher education. The school has developed a series of homework similarity checking models to ensure the originality of English teaching coursework. The fractional differential equation method is used to classify and analyze the assignments with plagiarism suspicion. The article calculates program similarity’s fractional differential equation calculation by sequence matching algorithm in English homework. Finally, we extract AST features of similar program parts and generate spatial vectors. The research aims to find out plagiarized assignment texts by cluster analysis. Experimental research shows that the establishment of this model can assist English teachers in checking online homework. At the same time, the model can also help improve the efficiency of teachers’ homework checking.

Про осмислення плагіату в Європі до Якоба Томазія

The paper provides an overview of the early considerations regarding the phenomenon of plagiarism – from Greco-Roman antiquity to the time when a thorough study examining literary theft in its textual, legal, and moral manifestations was printed, i. e. “Philosophical Dissertation on Literary Plagiarism” (1673) by Jacob Thomasius. Although the issue of plagiarism was very vital in ancient times, all the oldest considerations concerning the appropriation of other people’s texts were essentially pragmatic moves or reactions rather than purposeful theoretical interpretations of the subject. However, in addition to the situational grounds of the accusation, they can reveal certain principles that, according to estimations of the time, could prevent or refute allegations of plagiarism. It was enough if the author stated, albeit generally but clearly, that the fragments of other people’s texts, whether altered or not, were used. It was also acceptable if the reader believed that the author considered his borrowings recognizable to educated readers. Another reason for the elimination of possible accusations was the factor of competition – the author’s desire to adapt the achievements of another cultural environment in his own one, significantly improving them. The medieval and early modern materials generally testify to the relevance of ancient views and reveal some new problems. This is, in particular, the incompatibility of new more formalized ideas about authorship and traditional educational practices, which encouraged the uncontrolled use of others’ texts. Some authors also emphasized that plagiarism was an obstacle to the development of science. The paper ends with examples that show how European ideas about the rules of using others’ writings may help interpret the writing methods of the early modern Ukrainian authors, including philosophers.

Publishing in hijacked Web of Science journals: Analytical and legal study

This study aimed at a legal and scientific analysis of the plagiarized journals within the Web of Science system, in a time when the phenomenon of plagiarism and piracy spread to the titles of scientific and humanities magazines. Researchers sought to analyze the concept of plagiarism of international scientific journals based on its definition in scientific publishing, its dimensions and danger at the academic level of the researcher, and the academic and institutional level of the university. It also analyzed the types of plagiarism that include cloning, copying, substitution, mixing, and repetition as well as the scientific publishing of forged magazines that are no less dangerous and effective than the spoofed magazines. The study obtained several results, the most important of which is the risk for researchers to lose academic promotion and face direct penalties that hinder their path when appropriating funds through unaccredited scientific publications. The study has also reached specific criteria that the researcher must adhere to when seeking publication, the most important of which is the use of accredited websites of scientific journals and international publishers.

Interactional Effects of Macro Scale Social Factors in the Plagiarism Phenomenon: a case of Iran

A holistic approach to higher education plagiarism: agency and analysis levels

ABSTRACT Theories concerned with plagiarism issues recognise the need for a holistic approach. However, the literature reviewed does not propose such a theory but relies on reductionist approaches. In this regard, a holistic theory for analysing plagiarism, based on non-reductionist approaches that focus on the agency performed at the micro-level, is lacking. On one hand, the theory should consider all levels of plagiarism reality (macro-, meso-, and micro-levels), which offer contexts to the agency, making agents situated (re)producers of plagiarism reality. On the other hand, the theory considers agency as a transformational capacity of the agents, whose capacities (emotion, knowledge, skill, perception, risk evaluation, intentionality, and rationality) constitute the agent level. This human capacity bases the agentic process, which is composed of sub-processes (perception of reality, perceptually based reflection, and reflexive performing). Thus, the holistic proposal to analyse the plagiarism phenomenon presented here articulates contexts, agents, and agency.

LIÊN KÍ HIỆU TRONG TRUYỆN NGẮN HARUKI MURAKAMI

Applying the theory of intersignality to study the Murakami's short stories, I found that although he was a master of storytelling, his short stories were mostly based on the stories of a certain author. We do not see it as a plagiarism phenomenon because Murakami has a sense of dialogue or writing differently than previous writers. But that shows a limitation in Murakami's artistic creation. In addition, he aimed to make money in writing so he wrote long and so much. Reading Murakami's stories has a certain boredom. During his writing career, Murakami was influenced by Kafka, Hemingway and especially Raymond Carver. He has little influence from Japanese writers. And even though Japanese writers criticize his writing as a detachment from his tradition, Murakami is still a Japanese writer. The only difference is that he wants to target a global audience.

Attitudes of students at the faculty of Regional Development and International Studies toward plagiarism

Abstract This study aims to identify student attitudes to and perceptions of the topical phenomenon of plagiarism at the Faculty of Regional Development and International Studies at Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic. The paper includes a theoretical framework describing plagiarism, academic ethics and provides a different perspective on plagiarism by many authors. Furthermore, the article presents a semi-structured questionnaire conducted in July 2018 with a sample of 235 respondents. The questionnaire was used in this research to explore students’ personal experiences, recommendations and other information relating to their attitudes to and perceptions of plagiarism. The results indicate that FRDIS students were familiar with the concept of plagiarism but not always able to clearly identify the correct answers. The recommendation for the Faculty, based on the data analysis, is to hold a tutorial on all the important aspects of plagiarism, such as citations, referencing, and common mistakes. This paper concludes that plagiarism can only be eliminated if it is tackled at the prevention phase, not merely through the use of warnings and threats.

Is Plagiarism a Crime or Just a Condemnable Inspiration Method in the Digital World?!

The phenomenon of plagiarism in Romania, as well as in other countries, has become a mass one, thanks to the excessive use of www, characterized by the means of transmission and circulation of information. In this order of ideas, we could say that the most affected areas are academic and creative ones. To express our knowledge about plagiarism in a slightly more original form, in the present paper, we correlate the few aspects related to plagiarism that we could notice in some artistic manifestation, such as aphorisms, thoughts, epigrams, speeches and interventions, with the presence of the phenomenon of plagiarism in the context of new information technologies. We included passages from the types of writing mentioned above, to capture and emphasize the phenomenon of plagiarism beyond its well-known connotation. Out of the approximately 18-20 creations used, only 2-3 come to affirm an acceptance attitude and to embrace the plagiarist. The vast majority of the creations consulted condemn plagiarism and, by themselves (especially aphorisms), makes funny jokes when it comes to plagiarism. As it was expected, in the end, we concluded that although there is a side in each of us that would accept the temptation of plagiarism and would gladly embrace the ephemeral benefits associated with the phenomenon, there is also a side that makes us aware that what we do not like not to do to others.

Феномен академічного плагіату в сучасній Україні: причини існування та перспективи подолання

The article analyzes the reasons for the significant spread of academic plagiarism in modem Ukrainian science. The emphasis is on the dissemination of this phenomenon in world science. The author carries out historical parallels in studying the phenomenon of plagiarism. The attention is focused on the specifics of the Ukrainian plagiarism situation and two radically opposite approaches are being considered in the fight against plagiarism. The article shows that the problem of academic plagiarism, as well as plagiarism in other spheres of activity, is not limited to the ethical and moral characteristics of the subjects of scientific institutions, but has a social character and direction depends on the general situation in the country, as well as on the value-ideological, philosophical, even mental features of the community as a whole and the scientific community as a part of it.

PLAGIARISM AS ANTROPOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL PHENOMENON

Purpose of the article is to determine plagiarism as anthropological and social phenomenon. Theoretical basis. The author has analysed authentic historical-philosophical and literary texts to explicate the original meaning of the terms, by which the phenomenon of plagiarism was denoted. There were used methods and principles of socio-philosophical and philosophical-anthropological research, in particular: social determinism and anthropological interpretation of human life phenomena (O. Bollnow). Originality consists of: clarifying the terminological evolution in relation to designating the phenomenon of plagiarism; 2) the philosophical-anthropological description of the motives and personal traits of the subject of plagiarism (plagiarist) proposed by author. Conclusions. 1. Plagiarism as practice and plagiarism as a term existed separately for a long time. With the nominates, which denoted the practice, "Plagium" had as its predecessors the Greek "Λογοκλόπία" and the Latin "Furta". The modern semantics genesis of the term "plagiarism" took place as a process of changing the nominal values due to the complication of the semantic structure of the word before reintegration. 2. Analysis of historical-philosophical and literary sources from the "Empedocles Case" and "Fedentinus Case" allowed reconstructing the anthropological characteristics of the named persons as plagiarists: both of them were induced to plagiarize by vanity, either due to temporary limitation of abilities to intellectual creation (Empedocles as a student) or due to constant limited ability to the literary creativity (Fedentinus). Plagiarism was also caused by the low moral qualities of both, that allows to consider plagiarism as one of the manifestations of the individual’s integral characteristics. 3. Vanity, that motivates the commission of plagiarism, is one of the manifestations of the esteem needs, sociogenic by its nature, but unlike the next, higher stage in the hierarchy of basic needs (A. Maslow) does not foresee the self-improvement of man. Therefore, the plagiarist does not pass to the level of the need for self-actualization, the means to satisfy which is creativity in its various forms, "trampling" on the previous level. 4. Plagiarism is an ambivalent phenomenon, because in spite of plagiarists’ anthropological peculiarities, the ontological foundations of plagiarism are rooted in the social nature of man.

Factors influencing plagiarism by accounting lecturers

ABSTRACTThis study examines the possible factors affecting plagiarism by accounting lecturers in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, a province in Indonesia. 108 completed questionnaires were quantitatively analyzed. The multiple regression analysis reveals that working pressure and unfair competition significantly influence the intention to undertake plagiarism. These results indicate that Fraud Triangle theory partially explains the phenomenon of plagiarism among accounting lecturers. The main implication of this research is that accounting lecturers have overload works in their daily activities so that they do not have enough time to write scientific works professionally. Another implication is the presence of an unfair competition among accounting lecturers so that in order to meet the publication target, plagiarism becomes a way. The important contribution of this paper is the finding regarding the influences of working pressure and unfair competition on plagiarism by accounting lecturers.

Plagiarism in Arabic Criticism Heritage

The phenomenon of plagiarism has been commonly dealt with in Arabic criticism heritage,and many traditional Arab critics have written a specific part in their books covering this phenomenon under the title of "literary thefts". Literary thefts have been condemned in Arabic heritage as one poet takes some expressions or phrases from his predecessors, and such a tendency leads to the underestimation of the poet’s status. This phenomenon is called "citation" in Arabic rhetorics when the cited materials are extracted from the Glorious Qur'an or the Prophetic Traditions. This phenomenon has been given different names in Arabic heritage depending on the source of taken materials like sayings, poetry, etc.The phenomenon of plagiarism can be found in the poetic antithesis. Accordingly, plagiarism is the focus of this study. This study is organized around an introduction and three sections. Section one presents the concept of plagiarism from linguistic and terminological perspectivesa long with its history. Section two is limited to the different types of plagiarism in Arabic criticism heritage. Section three deals with the construction patterns of Arabic criticism heritage. Finally, conclusions are drawn out.

Agents Oriented Genetic-K-Means (AOGK) System for Plagiarism Detection

In the last decade, the plagiarism phenomenon has widely spread and become a topical problem in the modern scientific world, caused by the wide availability of electronic documents online and offline. This work will be devoted to describe a new plagiarism detection system named AOGK « Agents Oriented Genetic-K-means » based on a multi-agents architecture composed of three modules: text parsing to transform documents into vectors; Learning module using genetic algorithms to build a prediction model; Test module using k-means for the final classification of suspicious document; To evaluate their system the authors have used a range of reference metrics (precision, recall, f-measure and entropy) and the benchmark PAN 09. They have compared the results obtained with the performance of other systems found in literature; the authors' aim is the preservation of copyright.

Academic Plagiarism: Yielding to Temptation

Scope: Everybody lies. Plagiarism is pervasive because people are used to lying to succeed. While bringing up someone else’s ideas may be an inadvertent case of cryptomnesia, or unintentional plagiarism, academic plagiarism is hardly ever that case. Building on the existing literature, the aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it contributes to the creation of a new framework for the definition of academic plagiarism within the larger scope of academic dishonesty, or academic misconduct; on the other hand, it identifies forms to recognize and discourage it. Aim: Our aim is to provide the basis for a subsequent empirical study on the phenomenon of plagiarism at LABS-ISCAL hoping to help diminish this practice that is deeply rooted in students in general.
