| Abstract | Plagiarism is becoming more popular in academic and scientific research in higher education. Students are increasingly looking for quick solutions when writing research. This study examined plagiarism practices among university students in the province of Punjab (Pakistan). A total of 150 students were selected randomly from ten public sector universities. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed via SPSS software. Results showed that 80% of the students agreed that they have awareness about plagiarism. They did their best on their own in their research work to handle plagiarism because teachers provided no training or skills to avoid or reduce plagiarism. Most of the students (46%) expressed that they handled plagiarism by ignoring similarities. They used online paraphrasing sources to minimize plagiarism. It was found that 56% of the students checked their plagiarism of research work from time to time. It is also found that the majority of the students (76%) believed that universities were implementing anti-plagiarism policies in the research work of students. It is recommended that awareness about plagiarism be promoted, and comprehensive training about the skills to avoid plagiarism and reduce plagiarism should be arranged at the university level. |
