표절에 대한 사회적 인식과 비난가능성

Abstract

The definition of Plagiarism is the theft of others' idea, processes, result or record without the permission. On the other hand, social recognition for the plagiarism include the self plagiarism, redundant publication/duplicate publication and research misconduct as research fabrication and research falsification for the definition of plagiarism. Among these types of plagiarisms, copyright infringement brings about legal issues and many cases by courts can lead the solution of settlement of disputes. But problems on self plagiarism, redundant publication/duplicate publication and research misconduct as research fabrication and research falsification can not be settled under the present legal system. This is the why many social debates are continuing in the public. However, self plagiarism, redundant publication/duplicate publication and research misconduct as research fabrication and research falsification are considered as the very same ethical plagiarism or the inappropriate behavior. Scholars will agree that we can blame for these new types of plagiarism. This is the social mutual consent, I think so. None the less, we should recognize that we could not agree that all new types of research misconduct should be punished because some area of new types of research misconduct is allowed for advance of culture or culture diffusion. So, We must set standards and a criterion on the area to be accused of cheating for new types of research misconduct. Also, the way of sanction for research misconduct can be advised by several ways, but most efficient way to prevent the research misconduct is the institutional autonomy. However, local regulations may be different from each other, and we should present the guidelines the common criteria for all types of plagiarism and research misconduct.
