We present the outputs of the Prevention of Plagiarism in Student Works project, coordinated by Masaryk University, connecting 9 Czech universities. The project aims at inter-university dialogue and practical cooperation in promoting academic ethics and preventing fraudulent practices in academic writing.
One of the important outputs of this project are handbooks for academic staff and students, which are available at the following links in Czech and English:
Student Handbook
Handbook for Academic Staff
How to Prevent Plagiarism in Student Work
Since 2021, the follow-up project Strengthening the Academic Integrity of University Students with a Focus on the Risks and Opportunities of Distance Learning and Assessment Methods increased the number of participating universities to 20 and continues to respond to the current needs in this area. The main objective of the project is to gradually unify the criteria for assessing the seriousness of plagiarism and to systemically strengthen awareness of the destructive effects of unethical practices on the academic environment.
All outputs and information about the project can be found at www.akademickaetika.cz/en/
