#Take5: 18: The best way to tackle plagiarism?

#Take5: 18: The best way to tackle plagiarism? | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
In our cut and paste culture, even if it is not actually the case, it sometimes seems that we are being overwhelmed by a plague of plagiarism, not just in academia but in all walks of life (e.g. Scroth, 2012). The current popularity of tools like Turnitin in higher education suggests that what started out as a solution in search of a problem may have opened a Pandora’s box in which our notions of academic honesty and integrity are called into question by the behaviour of our students. In fact, the ubiquity of electronic counter-measures have given rise to counter-counter-measures (e.g. Rogerson & McCarthy, 2017) which make marking essays more of an exercise in forensic science rather than an educational process.

Great Resources to Teach Students about Plagiarism and Citation Styles ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

Great Resources to Teach Students about Plagiarism and Citation Styles ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

One of my favourite sources for information and guidelines regarding referencing and citation styles is the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL). I have heard several professors (in the humanities, at least) recommend it to graduate students. But there are also several other resources student researchers and academics can draw on to hone in their research writing skills. This page from Plagiarism.org features a plethora of excellent materials and citation sources that are all available online or in the form of PDF documents , free to download and use.

The fifth resource is an example of how another Irish University, University College Dublin (UCD), has re-purposed one of ITT Dublin’s originals.
