'Copiar y pegar' en investigaciones en el pregrado: haciendo mal uso del Internet 'Copy and paste' in undergraduate research: abusing Internet

Perspectives on Academic Integrity in Colombia and Latin America

“…In Peru, studies have been conducted seeking evidence of plagiarism in research papers written for a second-year human medicine course at Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (Huamaní et al 2008) and in premed thesis projects at a public university in Peru (Saldaña et al 2010).…”

Ethical Guidelines for Conducting Experiments and Writing Scientific Reports in Psychology

“…This problem arises especially among students in the formative stages of their career; i.e., potential scientists, as was evidenced in a study conducted with medical students by Huamaní, Dulanto-Pizzorni, and Rojas-Revoredo (2008), which found that of a total of 24 research papers reviewed, 23 had clear signs of passages copied from texts published on the Internet. Worse yet, 64% of the individual sentences evaluated in those papers were copied unchanged!…”

“…Because one-sometimes two-tutors had been assigned to supervise those students in the elaboration of their papers, the authors of this report questioned the responsibility of those advisers for the students' behavior, for it seems that they only lent their names without ever becoming actively involved in the conduction or reporting of the research. Such behavior is equivalent to feigning the status of honorary author, so it clearly constitutes a breach of ethics and labor law by those advisers (Huamaní, Dulanto-Pizzorni, & Rojas-Revoredo, 2008).…”

Estrategias docentes emergentes para prevenir el plagio académico en alumnos de pregrado: un estudio fenomenográfico con profesores experimentados

“…Concurren en los espacios educativos formas de plagio en las que el uso de nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación tiene un papel protagónico, con aquellas que se realizan sin el apoyo de estas "al viejo estilo". Como ya se ha dicho, en todos los casos detrás de estas prácticas, se encuentra una cultura de "copiar y pegar" (Hirschtick , 2006;Humani, et al, 2008; Otero-Iglesias y Barrios-Osuna, 2007), que en muchos de los casos se ve agravado por el hecho de que el estudiante que hace la copia ni siquiera lee completamente la información que ha tomando.…”
