What kinds of solutions can we find for plagiarism?
The Robert Gordon University
"The rapid evolution of information and communications technology has made it much easier for individuals to access information via Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) at the click of a mouse. However, such easy access to information is being negatively exploited through an ever-increasing phenomenon of plagiarism. The rise in plagiarism in higher education is becoming a worrying concern as such practices not only undermine the quality and standards of education but also negates the principle of intellectual property rights. Research findings have identified a variety of reasons why students plagiarise. A few of such factors include lack of adequate study skills, poor academic writing and referencing skills, poor time management, 'being under pressure as a result of too much assessment workload; sheer laziness, etc."
