Maketab Mohamed (FKK-UTM)Dear Editor, seems like Prof. AA Banyu Perwita is following the trend in universities nowadays - he is following the culture of "cut and paste", which is part of the Internet culture. During the pre-Internet era, researchers pored through books, journals and other periodicals in half-lit libraries and manually wrote sentences or passages into cards, to be later typed by typewriters into articles and in the process modifying the original sentences etc. Nowadays it is easier to find articles in the Internet, copy the materials and paste it in "your" article modifying the words or sentences without proper referencing and claim the article as "yours". Prof. AA Banyu Perwita is a victim of his own success as he has proven that he can write on his own considering that he completed his PhD in Flinders University in Australia and his M.A. in Lancaster University, U.K. but probably due to time constraints, he took the short cut way, which he will regret all his life.

Mengapa melakukan plagiat?Ketidaktahuan (ignorance)Kurang pengetahuan dalam etika

penulisan ilmiah dan ketrampilan menulis yang rendah

Ambisi, kompetisi, ingin cepat-nya saja

Sistem “publish or perish”Tidak mudah ketahuan

Bagaimana menghindari plagiarisme?Untuk kutipan singkat dalam teks, gunakan tanda kutif

ganda dan sebutkan sumbernya (pengarang, tahun). Kuntipan panjang gunakan paragraf menjorok ke tengahJika menggunakan tabel, gambar, diagram dll, sebutkan

sumbernya secara lengkap, bila perlu sebutkan bahwa ijin sudah didapatkan.

Jika anda hanya mengubah kata dan susunan kalimat tanpa menyebut sumber,

hal itu dianggap plagiarisme

Contoh 1: tesis bahasa Indonesia

Contoh 2: artikel dalam English

Kesamaan lebih dari tujuh kata dianggap indikasi adanya plagiarisme. Batas maksimum biasanya 10% dari total teks (laporan/tesis/artikel) yang didalamnya sudah menerapkan prinsip pengutifan secara baik.

Honesty is the best policy!

ConclusionUse your own ideas and words – research and publication is an opportunity where you learn to be creative, expand your knowledge, develop your writing and analytical skills
