“…Similarly, when paraphrasing-that is, rephrasing or reinterpreting written or spoken communication in one's vernacular-the imperative of citation remained. Paraphrasing demanded more than mere substitution of synonyms; it required a substantial transformation of the original text while preserving its core meaning [3]. Therefore, the framework of plagiarism, rooted in the clear demarcation of original and borrowed material, served as a cornerstone in academic writing.…”

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, has precipitated a paradigm shift in the realms of academic writing, plagiarism, and intellectual property. This article explores the evolving landscape of English composition courses, traditionally designed to develop critical thinking through writing. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into the academic sphere, it necessitates a reevaluation of originality in writing, the purpose of learning research and writing, and the frameworks governing intellectual property (IP) and plagiarism. The paper commences with a statistical analysis contrasting the actual use of LLMs in academic dishonesty with educator perceptions. It then examines the repercussions of AI-enabled content proliferation, referencing the limitation of three books self-published per day in September 2023 by Amazon due to a suspected influx of AI-generated material. The discourse extends to the potential of AI in accelerating research akin to the contributions of digital humanities and computational linguistics, highlighting its accessibility to the general public. The article further delves into the implications of AI on pedagogical approaches to research and writing, contemplating its impact on communication and critical thinking skills, while also considering its role in bridging the digital divide and socio-economic disparities. Finally, it proposes revisions to writing curricula, adapting to the transformative influence of AI in academic contexts.

Artificial Intelligence-mediated (or AI-mediated) technology has significantly enhanced teaching and learning environments, particularly in developing students’ paraphrasing skills. However, research on students’ and teachers’ perceptions of AI tools in academic writing is limited. As a result, this study aims to identify English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ and teachers’ perceptions of using QuillBot to learn paraphrasing skills. It also examines whether students’ gender and level of study, as well as teachers’ qualifications and experience, affect their responses. The study employed a descriptive survey method along with a convenience sampling method to select a study sample of 115 students and 44 teachers. Additionally, a semi-structured interview was conducted with a purposive sample of 13 students to explore their views on utilizing QuillBot. The findings revealed that (i) students and teachers perceived that QuillBot can greatly enhance paraphrasing skills; (ii) students’ gender and level of study did not affect their answers as well as teachers’ qualifications and years of experience; (iii) the participants’ role (whether student or teacher) did not impact their responses; and (iv) students had a high perception of using QuillBot. The researchers recommend QuillBot as a learning tool for mastering paraphrasing skills.

“…While this form is widely recognized and condemned, the subtler manifestations of plagiarism often go unnoticed. Though not as glaringly evident as direct copying, subtler forms of plagiarism include paraphrasing without proper citation, rephrasing someone else's ideas without giving credit, or inadequately citing sources [1,2]. Paraphrasing plagiarism is a crafty variant where individuals rephrase or reword another's ideas or words but inadequately alter the structure or wording, making it hard to distinguish from the original.…”

This article delves into the profound implications of plagiarism, extending beyond its role as an academic transgression to challenge the foundational principles of truth, originality, and integrity upon which the academic world is built. Plagiarism's extensive consequences ripple through students, educators, and educational institutions, posing a substantial threat to the integrity of the educational system. The primary aim of this study is to comprehensively address the complexities of plagiarism in higher education, emphasizing the need for effective strategies to safeguard and promote academic integrity. Academic institutions, designed to cultivate knowledge and character development, confront the unsettling presence of plagiarism, necessitating an in-depth exploration of its multifaceted causes and motivations for meaningful mitigation. The study identifies academic pressure, time constraints, lack of knowledge about citation rules, and the digital age as significant contributors to the prevalence of plagiarism. It underscores the far-reaching consequences of this issue and highlights the pivotal role of prevention and detection strategies, notably plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin, Grammarly, and Copyscape, in the ongoing battle to preserve academic honesty and the sanctity of scholarly work.
