Exploring university students' perceptions of plagiarism: a focus group study (2010, background): “Only a few studies have been conducted to explore students' perceptions of plagiarism, and these tend to focus on the reasons why students plagiarise (Ashworth, Bannister, and Thorne 1997 ; Devlin and Gray 2007 ; Marsden, Carroll, and Neill 2005 ), or utilise attitude scales that are developed wi”
Academic Plagiarism: Explanatory Factors from Students’ Perspective (2010, methodology): “ Devlin and Gray (2007) reported that a lack of time, poor time management, laziness and the ease of copying access provided by ICT and the Internet were first order factors to explain this practice; and Akbulut et al.

Who has read the policy on plagiarism? Unpacking students' understanding of plagiarism (2014, background): “…many plagiarise (Hard, Conway, and Moran 2006; Lin and Wen 2007; McCabe 2005b), what students think it is (Ashworth, Freewood, and Macdonald 2003; Devlin and Gray 2007; Gullifer and Tyson 2010; Power 2009; Yeo 2007) and how to prevent it (Devlin 2006; Duggan 2006; McGowan 2005a), no research to…”
