Cite correctly - avoid plagiarism (with and without a software)
Correct citation and the avoidance of plagiarism are basic principles of academic work. However, while the unmarked copying of third-party texts and illustrations is an obvious misconduct (and relatively rare), the handling of extensive citations and general scientific knowledge as well as the reuse of own texts remain challenging even for advanced scientists. Using case studies, the course will discuss the principles of citation and present ways of avoiding plagiarism. The course also includes a test of the plagiarism detection software turnitin, which is licensed by Heidelberg University.
