Partnership on University Plagiarism Prevention

Martine Peters is the Director of the Partnership on University Plagiarism Prevention  (PUPP), among a team of 63 researchers and collaborators from various disciplines and 36 international partners, from 10 countries (Canada, USA, United Kingdom, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Portugal, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine), for an international intervention to prevent plagiarism in universities.

In the face of plagiarism, the scourge of the Web 2.0 era, the PUPP focuses on prevention rather than punishment of this increasingly common fraudulent practice.

How can plagiarism in the academic world be prevented rather than punished?

Through the use of Digital Scrapbooking Strategies (DSS)!

DSS facilitates the search for information on the web and its integration into writing, as well as the referencing of authors used in the production of an academic work.

This highly innovative approach to PUPP will:

  1. Provide unprecedented information about the DSS’ used and taught at the university,
  2. Provide pedagogical solutions that enable students to acquire the skills necessary to write effectively and with integrity in a digital context,
  3. Enrich the humanities.

“Why do we need an international research partnership on plagiarism prevention?”
