Koulouris, AlexandrosKokkinos, DionysisPurpose - This paper presents and discusses the main results of a small-scale research concerning students’ and academic staff’s perceptions about plagiarism and its implications. The research was conducted in 2018, at the Department of Archival, Library & Information Studies, University of West Attica, with the use of two separate on-line questionnaires. Design/methodology/approach – The questionnaires, consisted of open and closed-ended questions, were sent respectively to the undergraduate students and to the academic staff of the Department. As a result, 62 questionnaires were completed by the students (~10% of the whole population) and 9 by the academic staff, which was the total number of the faculty members at the time of the study. Findings - The findings demonstrate that the students’ and the academic staff’s comprehension and perception of the term plagiarism, as well as their attitude towards the disciplinary implications, that this phenomenon entails, make it an imperative for academic realm and especially for libraries to deal with it actively and proactively. Originality/value – Useful findings were made regarding the perception and the comprehension of plagiarism phenomenon for undergraduate students.application/pdfhttps://ejournals.epublishing.ekt.gr/index.php/jiim/article/view/37865engΤμήμα Αρχειονομίας, Βιβλιοθηκονομίας & Συστημάτων Πληροφόρησης, Σχολή Διοικητικών, Οικονομικών & Κοινωνικών Επιστημών, Πανεπιστήμιο Δυτικής Αττικήςhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.02623-4629Journal of Integrated Information Management; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2019): Jan-June 2019; 18-23Higher EducationStatistical analysisPlagiarismUnderstanding plagiarismInformation LiteracyPlagiarism: initial research findings in undergraduate studentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Article2019-06-01Δημοσίευση σε περιοδικόPublication in journalΕπιστήμη πληροφόρησηςInformation scienceisi - Information Science & Library Science covers resources on a wide variety of topics, including bibliographic studies, cataloguing, categorization, database construction and maintenance, electronic libraries, information ethics, information processing and management, interlending, preservation, scientometrics, serials librarianship, and special libraries.Διοικητική Επιστήμη και Επιχειρησιακή ΈρευναManagement Science and Operations Researchisi - Operations Research & Management Science includes resources on the definition, analysis, and solution of complex problems.
