Abstract:
Introduction Plagiarism is appropriating another person\'s ideas, words, results, or processes without giving appropriate credit and usually claiming them to be one\'s own. Thus, plagiarism is a dishonest act of fraud or cheating. Objectives The objective of this study is to assess the perception of plagiarism among medical postgraduate (PG) students. Materials & Methods: An educational observational study was conducted among second-year PG students about the perception of plagiarism by using pre-test and post-test questionnaires after an orientation session on plagiarism and data analysis before the start of dissertation analysis. Questions included were on awareness and attitude towards plagiarism. Results A survey involving 91 PG students assessed their understanding of plagiarism. Remarkably, the majority (97.7%) demonstrated awareness of plagiarism, yet only 18.6% had authored a published article. It was discovered that about 30% of the students had resorted to plagiarism at some point during their academic pursuits. Approximately 70.9% of the PG students were acquainted with the University\'s plagiarism policy. The survey highlighted a notable enhancement in plagiarism awareness among PG students, with their attitudes toward plagiarism evolving after participating in the session. Conclusion Plagiarism can be avoided by implementing rigorous guidelines, ensuring strict policy adherence, and providing comprehensive training before commencing work. Training, retraining, and strict institute policies will help increase awareness about plagiarism and reduce the percentage of plagiarism in scientific writing.
摘要:
引言抄袭是挪用另一个人的想法,单词,结果,或过程没有给予适当的信用,通常声称他们是自己的。因此,抄袭是一种不诚实的欺诈或欺骗行为。目标这项研究的目的是评估医学研究生(PG)学生对抄袭的看法。材料与方法:在论文分析开始之前,通过在剽窃和数据分析的定向会议之后,使用测试前和测试后的问卷,对二年级PG学生进行了关于剽窃感知的教育观察研究。问题包括对剽窃的认识和态度。结果一项涉及91名PG学生的调查评估了他们对剽窃的理解。值得注意的是,大多数(97.7%)表现出剽窃意识,然而,只有18.6%的人发表过一篇发表的文章。发现大约30%的学生在学术追求中的某个时候采取了剽窃。大约70.9%的PG学生熟悉大学的剽窃政策。调查强调PG学生的剽窃意识显着提高,他们对剽窃的态度在参加会议后不断演变。结论通过实施严格的指导方针可以避免抄袭。确保严格遵守政策,并在开始工作前提供全面的培训。培训,再培训,严格的机构政策将有助于提高对抄袭的认识,并减少科学写作中抄袭的比例。
