Promotion pressure fuels academic plagiarism - The Jacarta Post
1. Taking a research paper or article from a registered science journal, and copying it so that a lecturer can replace the name of the original author with his or her name. This plagiarized item will then be submitted along with their application for promotion.
2. Deleting a section of an already publicized scientific journal, and replacing it with his own article. The bogus article will then be reprinted in a similar font format and paper size. The lecturer hopes to receive acknowledgement by including his work in the journal.
3. Taking credit for a research paper or final-year assignment completed by students attending the lecturer’s class.
4. Directly copying and pasting a research paper, article, or parts of a paper or article, written by another person, usually taken from Internet-based sources rather than a journal, and passing it off as one’s own work. This is the most common method of plagiarism committed by lecturers.(JP/From various sources)
