BackgroundReferencing is an integral part of scientific writing and professional research conduct that requires appropriate acknowledgement of others’ work and avoidance of plagiarism. University students should understand and apply this as part of their academic development, but for this, it is essential that supervisors also display proper research integrity and support.MethodsThis study used an online educative questionnaire to understand the knowledge and attitudes of students and supervisors at two institutes in Europe and Africa. The results were then used to create discussion around education of students and faculty in workshops and lectures.ResultsOverall, 138 students and 14 supervisors participated: most were Swedish (89) and Kenyan (11). Overall, 98% had heard about plagiarism, and 35% believed it was common. Only 45% had heard about self-plagiarism, and when explained what it was, 44.5% considered it morally wrong. Europeans and North Americans had more knowledge than other nationalities. Most (85%) had received some training on referencing, but there was little consensus about principles, with more than 30% considering it acceptable to cite a reference in a paper they had not read. Discussing these results and the questions in workshops was helpful; it was also clear that there was no consensus among supervisors on what constituted correct behavior.ConclusionsThis survey shows a need for greater consensus on appropriate referencing, and that there is need for more discussions and training on the topic for both students and faculty.

学生和导师对剽窃和引用的知识和态度

背景引用是科学写作和专业研究行为的一个组成部分,需要适当承认他人的工作并避免抄袭。大学生应该理解并应用这一点作为他们学术发展的一部分,但为此,导师也必须表现出适当的研究诚信和支持。方法本研究使用在线教育问卷来了解学生和导师的知识和态度欧洲和非洲的研究所。然后将结果用于在研讨会和讲座中围绕学生和教师的教育进行讨论。结果总体而言,有 138 名学生和 14 名主管参加:大多数是瑞典人(89 人)和肯尼亚人(11 人)。总体而言,98% 的人听说过剽窃,35% 的人认为这很常见。只有 45% 的人听说过自我剽窃,当解释它是什么时,44.5% 的人认为它在道德上是错误的。欧洲人和北美人比其他民族拥有更多的知识。大多数人 (85%) 接受过一些关于参考的培训,但在原则上几乎没有达成共识,超过 30% 的人认为在他们未阅读的论文中引用参考是可以接受的。在研讨会上讨论这些结果和问题很有帮助;同样清楚的是,主管之间没有就正确行为的构成达成共识。结论本调查表明,需要就适当的参考达成更大的共识,并且需要针对学生和教师就该主题进行更多的讨论和培训。欧洲人和北美人比其他民族拥有更多的知识。大多数人 (85%) 接受过一些关于参考的培训,但在原则上几乎没有达成共识,超过 30% 的人认为在他们未阅读的论文中引用参考是可以接受的。在研讨会上讨论这些结果和问题很有帮助;同样清楚的是,主管之间没有就正确行为的构成达成共识。结论本调查表明,需要就适当的参考达成更大的共识,并且需要针对学生和教师就该主题进行更多的讨论和培训。欧洲人和北美人比其他民族拥有更多的知识。大多数人 (85%) 接受过一些关于参考的培训,但在原则上几乎没有达成共识,超过 30% 的人认为在他们未阅读的论文中引用参考是可以接受的。在研讨会上讨论这些结果和问题很有帮助;同样清楚的是,主管之间没有就正确行为的构成达成共识。结论本调查表明,需要就适当的参考达成更大的共识,并且需要针对学生和教师就该主题进行更多的讨论和培训。超过 30% 的人认为在他们未读过的论文中引用参考文献是可以接受的。在研讨会上讨论这些结果和问题很有帮助;同样清楚的是,主管之间没有就正确行为的构成达成共识。结论本调查表明,需要就适当的参考达成更大的共识,并且需要针对学生和教师就该主题进行更多的讨论和培训。超过 30% 的人认为在他们未读过的论文中引用参考文献是可以接受的。在研讨会上讨论这些结果和问题很有帮助;同样清楚的是,主管之间没有就正确行为的构成达成共识。结论本调查表明,需要就适当的参考达成更大的共识,并且需要针对学生和教师就该主题进行更多的讨论和培训。
