2012 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

The 5th International Plagiarism Conference took place Monday 16- Wednesday 18 July 2012 at the Sage Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Academics from 26 countries gathered to share experiences and celebrate 10 years of pioneering research in plagiarism and academic integrity in what has become a forum for global good practice in this area.

Conference themes included cross-cultural views on plagiarism, challenges to addressing plagiarism, tried and tested strategies for encouraging students to produce rewarding and original academic work, institutional approaches and developments in the use of detection technologies.

The conference also saw the launch of a new global alliance of plagiarism conferences worldwide, known as the International Association of Academic Integrity Conferences (IAAIC).

The conference was sponsored by the Higher Education Academy.
