Purpose: This study centers on 25 cases of plagiarism in scientific publications committed by faculty members and students of the University of the Philippines and dealt with by eight of the university’s academic publishers. Methods: We focus on the publishers’ responses to these cases, details of which we obtained from various sources, vis-à-vis the University of the Philippines’ policies on plagiarism. Results: The responses to plagiarism were found to vary, at times seemingly arbitrarily, but tended toward protecting the identities or details of the accused, unless the case became publicized. Conclusion: Such maintenance of confidentiality is inimical to the fulfillment of academic publishers’ duties to the rest of the academic community. We herein suggest policies to address the identified deficits.

目的：本研究以菲律宾大学教职员工和学生在科学出版物中抄袭的 25 起案例为中心，并由该大学的 8 家学术出版商处理。方法：我们关注出版商对这些案例的回应，我们从各种来源获得了这些案例的详细信息，以及菲律宾大学关于抄袭的政策。结果：发现对抄袭的反应各不相同，有时似乎是任意的，但倾向于保护被告的身份或详细信息，除非案件被公开。结论：这种保密不利于学术出版商履行对学术界其他成员的职责。我们在此建议解决已确定的赤字的政策。
