O plágio em publicações científicas e a percepção dos graduandos em biblioteconomia e documentação do Instituto de Ciência da Informação da Universidade Federal da Bahia

Abstract

Plagiarism in scientific productions constitutes a recurrent and relevant theme in university settings. Based on this assumption, the present communication aimed to characterize the perception of the students of the course of Librarianship and Documentation in relation to the themes 'plagiarism' and 'copyright' in the university scope, specifically in the Information Science Institute of the Federal University of Bahia. In the methodological procedures, the research was set up as a case study (method of monographic procedure), with descriptive level; the instrument represented the research questionnaire. The final considerations evidenced the patent need, of the disciplines offered in the researched institute, to incorporate debates in the curriculum of the course of Library and Information Science that deal with relevant topics such as plagiarism and copyright.
