Plagiarism
As information becomes more freely available in a widening variety of new formats, it becomes harder to manage and it is easy to fall foul of accidental plagiarism. As such, plagiarism is an area of growing concern within the Higher Education community. It is important that you have a clear understanding of plagiarism as publishers are now using specialist detection software to check articles which have been submitted for publication.
As you will be teaching students and supervising post graduate theses you need to have an understanding of plagiarism from both your point of view and that of a student.
