Discussion: Perceptions And Attitudes Toward PlagiarismDiscussion: Perceptions And
Attitudes Toward PlagiarismIn this scenario, my next steps in speaking with my classmate
would be to address the concerns about citing the research articles incorrectly. An
important ethical issue in nursing education is the concerns of plagiarism. Plagiarism is the
violation of academic integrity and a continuing issue in nursing education (Carter et al.,
2019). I would inform my classmate that we have resources that we can utilize to help guide
us in citing resources correctly; We have access to many resources such as the APA
7th Edition Guide or templates provided by Grand Canyon University (GCU) in the GCU
Library. Also, the importance of using Turnitin or Lopeswrite software is essential as it
promotes academic integrity by running through the contents submitted and detects
plagiarism.ORDER HERE FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERS ON Discussion:
Perceptions And Attitudes Toward PlagiarismPlagiarism can negatively reflect on the
credibility and integrity of the individuals involved, the university, and the profession. To
gain credibility, the individuals must use reliable and valid sources to back up their
assertions in their research. Healthcare is driven by evidence and knowledge from science
and research that guides decision making for healthcare providers. Because of this, it is
important for individuals who are doing evidence-based practice projects to demonstrate
trustworthiness, credibility, and academic integrity especially with such a respected and
trusted profession such as nursing at an accredited university. If this unethical habit in
nursing education continues to occur, this may place the individual as risk for jeopardizing
their reputation as both a student and future nurse; if this action is not corrected it may
carry on to their nursing practice. As for the university, it may lose its accreditation as
plagiarism policies are not being followed.
