This article reviews the literature surrounding the growing use of Automated Paraphrasing Tools (APTs) as a threat to educational integrity. In academia there is a technological arms-race occurring ...between the development of tools and techniques which facilitate violations of the principles of educational integrity, including text-based plagiarism, and methods for identifying such behaviors. APTs are part of this race, as they are a rapidly developing technology which can help writers transform words, phrases, and entire sentences and paragraphs at the click of a button. This article seeks to review the literature surrounding the history of APT use and the current understanding of APTs placed in the broader context of the educational integrity-technology arms race.
The students’ awareness level and attitudes toward plagiarism, which is using others’ words, thoughts and work without giving reference to the original author, are a matter of study at the higher ...education level and have implications in English Language Teaching (ELT). However, upon researching the literature, it has turned out that there has been a limited number of studies on attitudes toward plagiarism among post-graduate ELT students. To this end, this study aimed to investigate their attitudes toward plagiarism in a descriptive survey design extending to the existing literature. Data were collected by utilizing a questionnaire. The study’s participants were post-graduate ELT students from universities in Türkiye (N = 30). According to the results, they seemed to oppose supporting or justifying plagiarism. The results also revealed that the participants approached plagiarism quite negatively. They considered it an unacceptable issue to be taken seriously. However, their attitudes toward self-plagiarism tend to be moderate rather than negative. The current investigation uncovered that the participants did not fully understand plagiarism. Based on the findings, there was a need to raise post-graduate ELT students’ awareness levels Furthermore, necessary recommendations were made to broaden the post-graduate ELT students' knowledge and awareness levels about plagiarism.

Journal Article
This commentary seeks to right what is now an old wrong – to attribute Manfred Max-Neef's (2005) model of disciplinary interactions in transdisciplinarity to Erich Jantsch (1970). When I first ...discovered this erroneous situation, it was a startling realisation. It seemed that Manfred Max-Neef had certainly copied and possibly plagiarised Erich Jantsch. We might ask why it is that although both authors are regularly referenced together, a doctoral dissertation (Buchanan, 2016) is the sole published document pointing out this irregularity. In the process of piecing together this (hi)story, I uncovered further documents that point toward something more common and perhaps more insidious than lack of originality. Manfred Max-Neef seems to have made a choice, conscious or otherwise, to not engage with, and perhaps even to dismiss, the scholarly purpose and intent of Erich Jantsch's transdisciplinary model. Recent neurological studies suggest that although this kind of behaviour has deep biological roots, it is not unavoidable. I wonder whether dismissing another scholar's beliefs may be a more serious indictment of our shared scholarly enterprise than plagiarism. My hope is that this salutary tale sets the record a little straighter, and acts as a reflective and reflexive trigger for scholars everywhere.
•Is Max-Neef's ‘weak transdisciplinarity’ plagiarised from Jantsch?•Might identity and worldview underly Max-Neef's diminishment of Jantsch's concept?•We can overcome biological-hardwired responses concerning challenges to our identity.•We can and should grow our capacity as scholars to engage with different worldviews.•Doing so enables scholars to deliver the promise of Peirce's ‘community of inquirers’.

ChatGPT is a widely used chatbot model that has gained popularity. Concerns have been raised that ChatGPT may facilitate plagiarism. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether ChatGPT can ...distinguish between plagiarised and non-plagiarised texts. The purpose of the study was to investigate the potential of ChatGPT in generating plagiarism. The sample included various types of texts, such as manuscripts. Several questions about plagiarism were asked. The study found that the first version of ChatGPT cannot successfully detect plagiarism, although it can distinguish sentences written in academic sources from ordinary sentences. ChatGPT assumes that providing a reference to a previous source is sufficient. However, this does not mean that it is free from plagiarism. The findings of this study indicate that ChatGPT cannot fully recognise plagiarism
