The meeting also discussed the issue of plagiarism, where plagiarism did not only occur in Indonesia but is also very common in several countries.
“Plagiarism can be caused by students’ lack of knowledge of the issues discussed. For this reason, a library is needed for students to broaden their horizons. Second, it is easy for students to be able to translate languages, so that it facilitates plagiarism. The solution to this issue is to train to teach resources to be able to pay attention to issues, change how to assess/test students in a way that can minimize the occurrence of plagiarism & humans to humans,” said Alex.
