“…Each lecturer has a different way of avoiding plagiarism practices according to the type of scientific writing. Lecturers can improve students' abilities to understand and avoid plagiarism through practice [15]. Some of the efforts that lecturers can make in avoiding the student plagiarism practices in the writing of papers or theses include:…”

This study explores the role of lecturers in avoiding students’ plagiarism practices using the qualitative method with a case study approach. The study was conducted by observing and interviewing five faculty members in Universitas Negeri Makassar. Data were obtained from the participants, and then analyzed qualitatively. The observation and interview results were noted and concluded and are presented in this article. The study presents information about the attitudes and actions of lecturers toward student plagiarism practices and the efforts made by lecturers in minimizing student plagiarism practices. This study emphasizes the importance of educating students about the dangers of plagiarism. It was found that lecturers have several attitudes and actions to avoid student plagiarism, namely promoting academic honesty and applying plagiarism punishment. Students are required to revise their writing, however, a more severe sanction is given if plagiarism is still detected, namely a reduction in grades. The lecturers should assign students to submit their assignments or theses for plagiarism check purposes. This study recommends that lecturers should provide feedback with an emphasis on academic honesty rather than punishment. Keywords: academic honesty, academic writing, avoiding plagiarism, the role of lecturer

“…Along with direct instruction, six studies examined the effectiveness of completing activities (* Fenster, 2016;*Froese et al, 1995;*Landau et al, 2002) or homework assignments (* Barry, 2006;*Estow et al, 2011;*Schuetze, 2004) to improve paraphrasing skills and the proper usage of a particular documentation style. In these studies, the practical activities led to significant increases in scores on tests designed to assess attitudes, knowledge, and skills about plagiarism.…”

The prevalence of plagiarism, cheating, and other acts of academic dishonesty may be as high as 80% in populations of high school and post-secondary students. Various educational interventions have been developed and implemented in an effort to educate students about academic integrity and to prevent academic misconduct. We reviewed the peer-reviewed research literature describing face-to-face workshops, elearning tutorials, or blended approaches for promoting academic integrity and the effectiveness of these approaches. In general, the educational interventions were described as effective in terms of satisfaction with the intervention, and changes in students' attitudes and knowledge of academic integrity. Few studies provided evidence that the educational interventions changed student behaviour or outcomes outside the context of the intervention. Future research should explore how participation in educational interventions to promote academic integrity are linked to long-term student outcomes, such as graduate school admission, alumni career success, service to society, and personal stability.

The evidence base relating to interventions to improve research integrity is incomplete and the studies that have been done are heterogeneous, inappropriate for meta-analyses and their applicability to other settings and population is uncertain. Many studies had a high risk of bias because of the choice of study design and interventions were often inadequately reported. Even when randomized designs were used, findings were difficult to generalize. Due to the very low quality of evidence, the effects of training in responsible conduct of research on reducing research misconduct are uncertain. Low quality evidence indicates that training about plagiarism, especially if it involves practical exercises and use of text-matching software, may reduce the occurrence of plagiarism.
