Thou shalt honour thy sources

Article Abstract:

Plagiarism is considered unacceptable in British higher education but many first-year undergraduates lack a clear understanding of what constitutes plagiarism. Plagiarism is often unintentional, frequently involving the use of material without acknowledgement. Many students entering higher education have been taught that summarising or paraphrasing work from secondary sources is perfectly acceptable. Universities must lay down clear rules on plagiarism and referencing, ensure that students understand them, and establish a fair and consistent method of enforcing them if they want to tackle an apparently widespread problem.

Seventy percent penicillum propagules were collected in the small-particle fraction of the eight species known.
