Accompaying presentation from Dr Fiona Duggan of the JISC Plagiarism Advisory Service, at the RSC SE / JISC PAS workshop - Identifying and preventing plagiarism: issues for HE tutors in FE Colleges. July 04th Northbrook College
- The document discusses collaboration in science, defining collaboratories as organizational entities that span distance and support rich interaction around a common research area through shared tools and data.
- Classic examples of collaboratories described include those for upper atmospheric research, space physics, earthquake engineering simulation, and AIDS research.
- Research has found key factors for successful collaboration include alignment of goals, establishment of trust, appropriate division of labor, and effective technology and support infrastructure. Future collaborative scholarship may spread to more fields and be aided by advances in technology.
This document summarizes a presentation about scientific publishing and open access. It discusses some of the challenges researchers and publishers currently face, such as long publication times and high journal costs. It proposes that a new model is needed that reduces workload, equitably shares resources, and incentivizes open sharing over "publish or perish". The presenter advocates building a technological infrastructure to support researchers and democratize access to academic content, so that scientific dissemination looks very different if developed today. The goal is to empower researchers and universities through serving the public interest.

The aim of this study is to develop instruction that enables students to learn, to detect, and to analyze disagreements among multiple conflicting texts. We developed a learning sequence to understand and to promote disagreement resolution in reasoning about conflicting information, which includes (a) direct instruction regarding steps to analyze and identify reasons for disagreements, and (b) peer discussion and worked examples to elaborate their identifications and reasoning about disagreements among conflicting information within and between texts.
This document summarizes a systematic review of 148 peer-reviewed studies on harms experienced by children from online risks between 1997-2011. The review found:
- Definitions of harm varied greatly between studies, making it difficult to assess the true scale. Health-related harms were most studied, while other risks received less research.
- Most studies discussed potential rather than actual harm, focusing on risky content rather than documented effects. Very few provided evidence that online activities caused harm.
- While severe harms were rare, the potential for minor harms was relatively high. However, personal factors influence individuals' ability to cope. More research is needed to properly assess different harms and develop effective, evidence-
Communicating Science via the Web - Tools and Tips for Grad StudentsNaomi Hirsch
This document provides guidance to graduate students on communicating science to broader audiences via the web and social media. It emphasizes the importance of writing clearly for diverse non-expert audiences, using social media effectively to share science passionately, and fostering trust through dialogue and transparency. Specific recommendations include creating a professional website and social media accounts to share research updates and engage networks of scientists, journalists, and the public. Twitter is highlighted as an efficient way to participate in discussions and raise the profile of one's work. Overall, the key message is that communication is essential to science and its impact.
ICA 2013: Evidence on the Extent of Harms Experienced by Children as a Result...Monica Bulger
A recent UK parliamentary inquiry into online child protection prompted a resurgence of moral panics about children and adolescents’ Internet use, despite the fact that little empirical evidence of actual harm is brought to bear in public and policy discourses. This article makes a key contribution to the field by reviewing the available evidence about the scale and scope of online harms from across a range of disciplines and identifying key obstacles in this research area. The findings are based on a review of 271 empirical studies. We identified three main types of harms: health-related harms as a result of using pro-eating disorders, self-harm or pro-suicide websites, sex-related harms such as Internet-initiated sexual abuse of minors, and cyber-bullying.
Presented at the International Communication Association Annual Meeting, 2013, London.
The document discusses a research project examining public perceptions of heritage and the need for reforms to heritage protection in England. It describes the methodology used, including an online survey and case studies. The survey asked people what heritage means to them and what they value protecting. Preliminary results found that responses varied depending on whether people saw an informational poster first. The research aims to better understand if policy definitions of heritage match public definitions to help inform further reforms.

OU Research Methods Conference 2011-LWangLiang Wang
In this presentation I will introduce my thesis, focusing on its methodology. I begin by introducing briefly the research background, then go on to explain the research paradigm which informed and shaped my research design – a multi-site and multi-stage approach that was essentially qualitative-based but also incorporated quantitative elements, i.e. an integration of a survey approach and a collective case study approach. Finally, I discuss some practical issues from the fieldwork such as access, the researcher’s role and ethical considerations that were relevant to my research context and design.

Does the Internet harm children's health? A critical review of the evidenceMonica Bulger
Presentation delivered at MeCCSA 2013 by Dr. Vera Slavtcheva-Petkova, highlighting findings of a paper co-authored with Dr. Monica Bulger and Dr. Victoria Nash of the Oxford Internet Institute
Abstract: Moral panics about the Internet’s “harmful effects” have been ongoing in current years, recently exacerbated by a UK parliamentary inquiry into online child protection. Is there scientific evidence supporting these fears? Does the Internet harm children and especially their health? This paper will present the findings from a narrative review of more than 300 journal articles discussing the scale and scope of online harms that young people experience. We will first present the three main types of harms identified in the literature: health-related harms, sex-related harms and cyber-bullying. Then the paper will focus in more detail on the evidence about health-related harms incurred as a result of online risks. We not only identify the kinds of health harms discussed in the literature – mainly related to pro-eating disorder websites, self-injury websites and problematic Internet use – but we also investigate whether and how the researchers operationalize harm. We also scrutinize the research methods used in the studies, which tend to differ significantly among the disciplines studied.
This document summarizes research conducted to identify emerging research fields at a university through community detection in scientific collaboration networks. The researchers created a scientific collaboration network using publication and grant data from 2011-2015, detected communities using the Louvain method, and identified keywords and topics for each community to determine emerging fields. They analyzed faculty profiles and conducted interviews to understand community characteristics and perceptions. The results provide insight into the composition and structure of emerging interdisciplinary research fields at the university.
This document provides an introduction to study design for community-engaged research projects. It discusses identifying potential audiences, developing research questions, specifying the unit of analysis, and developing a sampling plan. The key topics covered are:
1) Knowing your audience(s) such as community partners, academic disciplines, policymakers, and funders in order to address their diverse interests.
2) Developing research questions that serve multiple audiences by addressing both the community's interests and academic fields.
3) Specifying the unit(s) of analysis, such as individuals, organizations, or locations, which determine the level at which conclusions can be drawn.
4) Considering sampling plans like representative random samples, non

The Spectrum of Community-Based Action ResearchEverettProgram
This document discusses community-based action research and community-based participatory research. It provides definitions and objectives of these research approaches, which aim to conduct research that is collaborative, democratic, and seeks to promote social change. A case study is presented on a research project in Santa Cruz County that examined low-wage workers. The benefits of such an approach include ensuring the research question comes from the community, increasing trust and participation, enhancing validity, improving interventions and dissemination of findings to benefit the community.
Developing a multiple-document-processing performance assessment for epistem...Simon Knight
http://oro.open.ac.uk/41711/
The LAK15 theme “shifts the focus from data to impact”, noting the potential for Learning Analytics based on existing technologies to have scalable impact on learning for people of all ages. For such demand and potential in scalability to be met the challenges of addressing higher-order thinking skills should be addressed. This paper discuses one such approach – the creation of an analytic and task model to probe epistemic cognition in complex literacy tasks. The research uses existing technologies in novel ways to build a conceptually grounded model of trace-indicators for epistemic-commitments in information seeking behaviors. We argue that such an evidence centered approach is fundamental to realizing the potential of analytics, which should maintain a strong association with learning theory.
This document summarizes Patrick Janulis' presentation on Network Canvas, a software for collecting and visualizing social network data. It describes a large cohort study of young men who have sex with men collecting network and psychosocial data every 6 months over 5 years. Network Canvas allows capturing complex network data with up to 40 nodes and attributes. It was developed with an intuitive touch interface for participants. The tool is being evaluated for usability and efficiency. Funding is provided by NIH to develop machine learning to match individuals across networks using an existing dataset, and create a graphical user interface to implement this as a package for Network Canvas.
The document outlines the schedule and agenda for a workshop on community engagement and information tools. The schedule includes sessions on data and knowledge, tool workshops, lunch, discussion, more workshops, and dinner. Topic areas to be covered are data vs information vs knowledge; models of community engaged research; the research cycle; and how technology can be used in communities. Workshops will focus on using tools like surveys, mapping, and design software to support research.
Teleconsultation refers to the electronic communication that happens between a clinician and patient for the purpose of diagnostic or therapeutic advice. Teleconsultations are particularly useful to provide healthcare services in situations where face-to-face consultation may not be easy. So far, the teleconsultations sessions are primarily supported by audio and video based communication. Although audio and video based communications are advantageous for teleconsultation, they may not fully support all the diagnostic tasks that are carried out in a face-to-face consultation session. For example, diagnosis of physical injuries may require physical handling through touch, which is not possible over video based communication. To address this, I put forward a novel approach of using tangible interfaces and artifacts to support physical diagnostic tasks in a teleconsultation sessions.
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding on how to design such tangible interfaces. The research will be carried out in three phases. In the first phase, I will investigate the experience of users with technology involved in a teleconsultation session through observation studies to gather a deep understanding on existing teleconsultation processes. These insights will inform the design for tangible interfaces to support teleconsultation session. The prototyping will be carried out in second phase. Finally, in the third phase I will field deploy the prototype to gather and understand its implication in teleconsultation sessions. This investigation will guide me towards a first conceptual understanding of the design of tangible interfaces for teleconsultation sessions. Ultimately, my aim is to invoke thinking towards natural (tangible) interfaces in supporting teleconsultations to get closer to the experience of face-to-face consultation.

University Students' Perceptions of
Plagiarism
Students who engage in plagiarism present a prob
lem for all educators, especially those at the secondary and post-sec
ondary levels. To those teaching at the university level, the ever-increas
ing availability of electronic material must certainly be making
plagiarism easier for students and may also be contributing to its preva
lence. A large body of research has been conducted on cheating behav
iors across all disciplines. There has been a significant amount of inquiry
at the college level, particularly in the fields of English, Business Man
agement, and Psychology. Fewer studies have focused specifically on
plagiarism as a separate issue from other cheating behaviors, however.
Of the studies that assess trends in plagiarism alone, most utilize self
reporting of plagiarism by students (see McCabe, 1999; O'Connor,
2003; Scanlon & Neumann, 2002, and many others for examples). As
we shall see, students have such a confused notion of what actually con
stitutes plagiarism that such self-reporting cannot be taken as entirely
reliable. To complicate the issue, some studies have found that students
tend to under report plagiarism or cheating behavior (Genereux &
McLeod, 1995), while others suggest that students over report it (Brown
& Emmit, 2001; Karlins, Michaels, & Podlager, 1988).
There is no doubt that plagiarism is a problem at our universities.
Why do students do it? Is the number actually increasing? Why are stu
dents still apparently confused about the subject, despite all of our ef
forts to educate them?

ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY IN HIGHER EDUCATION AN ETHICAL DILEMMA OF PLAGIARISM...Courtney Esco
The document discusses plagiarism among university students as an ethical dilemma in higher education. It explores students' perceptions of plagiarism, common types of plagiarism committed by students, and reasons why students cheat. The most prevalent type is internet plagiarism due to advances in technology. Reasons for cheating include lack of understanding of plagiarism, time management issues, and a desire to succeed. Universities aim to prevent plagiarism through honor codes, plagiarism education, and detection software like Turnitin. Case studies of King's College London and the University of Cambridge found they implement academic integrity policies, educational training, and learning support programs to increase awareness and prevent plagiarism.

This document provides an overview of theories that attempt to explain plagiaristic behavior among students. There is disagreement among researchers about whether responsibility lies solely with students or if educational institutions also share blame. Some researchers view plagiarism as a problem caused by students' deficiencies, while others argue institutions must do more to teach students skills to avoid plagiarism. The document outlines several theories used to understand reasons for student plagiarism, including ethical theories like deontology and utilitarianism, as well as social learning theory and criminological theory.

Abstract
Plagiarism and academic dishonesty are phenomena that have a long history. With the
advent of the Internet, and easily accessible information, there has been some debate on
whether the rate of student plagiarism differs by modality. To understand the challenges
of implementing a plagiarism protocol for online courses, the current study surveyed a
group of online faculty. Specifically, how faculty approached instances of plagiarism and
their perceptions of the current plagiarism protocol were examined. The findings indicated
that there was variation in degree and timing of plagiarism reported by online faculty.
Results also showed that online faculty members were more inclined to follow the
protocol if plagiarism reports were easier to submit, took less time to submit, and/or the
submission forms were integrated into the learning management system. In addition,
participants indicated their desire to receive updated training on the plagiarism protocol,
including the specific steps to submit plagiarism report documents. The study contributes
to an understanding of difficulties inherent in implementing plagiarism policy, specifically
in an online education context. Lastly, the current study indicates the importance of

Introduction
What Carroll and Appleton (2001) observed nearly 14 years ago still applies to plagiarism in our current
digital age. Linguistic analysis, textual comparison, and simple Google searches are efficient ways to
detect plagiarism. The important idea to consider is whether efficiency should be the primary focus of
dealing with plagiarism in higher education. The problem here is that there is not necessarily consensus
as to a definition of plagiarism (Vander Schaaf, 2005). ...
Academic Dishonesty A Preliminary Researchers ViewLeslie Schulte
This document discusses academic dishonesty from the perspective of researchers. It identifies several factors that influence academic dishonesty, such as academic pressure, writing challenges, data issues, and plagiarism challenges. The study aims to better understand researchers' attitudes towards academic dishonesty by collecting survey data from early career researchers. Key findings indicate that academic dishonesty is influenced by issues like pressure, deterrents, writing difficulties, outsourcing work, data problems, and electronic sources. Understanding researchers' perspectives can help improve training, increase research quality, and ensure funding is not wasted.
College Cheating Immaturity, Lack of Commitment, and the Neut.docxmonicafrancis71118
This document summarizes a study that examined factors underlying student cheating in college. Through a survey of 380 students, the researchers found that over half reported cheating during the academic year. Factor analysis identified three primary factors influencing cheating: student immaturity, lack of commitment to academics, and neutralization. Neutralization refers to justifying deviant acts to deflect blame. Cheaters reported higher levels of neutralization and were most deterred by formal punishments rather than feelings of guilt. The study provides insight into motivations for cheating and suggestions for further research.
This document summarizes a presentation on plagiarism prevention and detection. It defines plagiarism as using another's work without attribution. While not a legal crime, plagiarism is considered an academic offense. Both prevention through education and detection methods have limitations. Detection tools can be fooled and incorrectly flag original work. The best prevention strategies involve thorough education of students about proper citation and encouraging writing practices that promote original thought. Overall the presentation argues for focusing on prevention over problematic detection approaches.

1) Stereotyping of computer science as a male-dominated field has discouraged girls from pursuing related careers. Research shows using gaming to teach computing concepts at a young age and providing female mentors may help break down stereotypes.
2) Studies found that girls had lower self-efficacy and interest in computer science due to societal stereotypes. However, programs that used gaming to teach concepts and matched girls with STEM mentors were shown to increase girls' skills, knowledge of careers, and intentions to study STEM fields.
3) Research also found that using a female interface agent when teaching math and engineering concepts helped raise girls' self-efficacy, interest, and performance compared to groups without
This document discusses academic dishonesty among university students and strategies for faculty to address its root causes. It notes that about 50% of students engage in some form of dishonesty like plagiarism or cheating. When this occurs, academic quality suffers and students may not develop necessary skills. The document reviews ethical theories that can help understand student behaviors related to dishonesty and provides best practices faculty can implement, such as emphasizing academic integrity, using relevant assignments, modeling integrity, and sharing resources to help students properly cite sources. It concludes that preventing, educating about, and responding to dishonesty requires effort from students, faculty, and administrators.

Exploring educational and cultural adaptation through social networkingkruwanida
The document discusses research on the educational uses of social networking sites (SNS) like Facebook. It summarizes three themes from previous research: 1) how SNS can increase students' self-efficacy and self-regulation, 2) the impact of faculty disclosure on SNS, and 3) how student personality affects SNS perception and use. It then contrasts learning management systems with SNS, noting SNS allow longer-term relationships and instant access. The rest of the document describes a study that used autoethnography to examine how SNS help with cultural and educational adaptation of international doctoral students. The findings suggest SNS enhance knowledge exchange, alleviate apprehension, and enable socialization and community building.
The document provides information about academic and non-academic texts. It states that academic texts are written by professionals for a scholarly audience, use formal language and terms specific to the field, and include references and citations to back up claims. The primary goal is to inform readers while providing unbiased and evidenced information. Non-academic texts are for a general audience and can be written by anyone to inform, entertain or persuade without citations or references. Examples of academic texts and potential research topics for different strands are also listed.
This document discusses academic dishonesty among high school students. It reports that according to the Educational Testing Service (ETS), cheating among high school students has risen dramatically over the past 50 years, from 20% of college students admitting to cheating in high school in the 1940s to between 75-98% today. The document explores reasons for this increase, such as less stigma around cheating and increased competition for college admissions. It also examines ways to address academic dishonesty, such as teaching students about academic integrity and making coursework more relevant.

This document discusses a study on open education and social justice in the global south. It summarizes the findings that while university lecturers frequently use open educational resources (OER), they are less likely to create or adapt OER due to lack of awareness, localizing challenges, and intellectual property restrictions. It argues that for OER to promote social justice, efforts are needed for proper localization, critical remixing, and transforming intellectual property policies to increase representation.

Shibboleth is a single sign-on system that allows users to access protected web resources across different domains without having to log in at each site. It uses attributes based authentication where an identity provider authenticates a user and shares attributes with a service provider to determine access. Common attributes include those in the EduPerson and UkEduPerson standards. Implementing Shibboleth requires skills like Unix/Linux, Apache/SSL, Java, directories and schemas. Help is available through a Windows installer package being developed, support from the JISC Institutional Access Management project, and free training events covering implementation skills.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
