This study examined undergraduate students at the faculty of economics, Shiga University, on their knowle dgeofplagiarism. Atotalof 106 undergraduate students were presented with an original paragraph and three rewritten versions of the original paragraph, one of which was considered plagiarized according to published guidelines because it included strings of words copied directly from the original text with proper citation but without quotation marks; another of which was considered acceptable because quotation marks were placed around the words copied from the original text with proper citation; and the third was also considered acceptable because the original text was properly paraphrased without copying exact words or structure accompanied by proper attribution. The students were asked to compare each rewritten version of the paragraph to the original text and identify whether each version was acceptable (not plagiarized), indeterminable, or inappropriate (plagiarized). The results suggested that the students’ knowledge of proper ways of citing and paraphrasing the original text was insufficient and that their criteria for distinguishing plagiarism and appropriate citations were ambiguous. These findings suggest that some students would commit plagiarism unintentionally because they do not understand what plagiarism is. Instruction on quotation and paraphrasing seems to reduce the incidence of students’ plagiarism resulting from their ignorance., 彦根論叢, 第404号, pp. 32-45, The Hikone Ronso, No.404, pp. 32-45}, pages = {32--45}, title = {他者による文章の適切な使用に関する大学生の知識}, year = {2015} }
