Their detailed discussion of their Plagiarism and Ethics Awareness Training (PEAT) prevention program and strategies for assessing plagiarism prevention efforts will be of great interest to those searching for ways to change students’ attitudes and misunderstandings about plagiarism, academic dishonesty and the unethical usage of information.
