THE CASE OF PLAGIARISM

Erifilli Avramidou and Gerassimos Kekkeris, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece

More and more universities adopt rules and follow different practices to avoid plagiarism. Their policies are focused on informing students and staff about the observance of ethics and integrity rules. This paper presents the case of plagiarism and the possible causes that lead a researcher to commit it. The consequences of plagiarism in the academic community depend on the policy of each university and can be divided into individual and social, since they concern not only the member of the university community who commits plagiarism, but also the university itself.
