AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how perceptions of plagiarism differ among biomedical researchers in various European regions.
- The researchers used data from an online survey conducted in 2018, focusing on responses from 810 European respondents categorized into northern, southern, and northwestern regions.
- Findings reveal that Nordic respondents identified more practices as plagiarism compared to southern respondents, highlighting cultural differences in understanding plagiarism within Europe.
Article Abstract
Background: Existing research on perceptions of plagiarism and cultural influences mainly focuses on comparisons between the Western World and the Eastern World. However, possible differences within the Western World have hardly been assessed, especially among biomedical academics. The authors compared perceptions of plagiarism among European biomedical researchers who participated in an online survey.
Methods: The present work is based on the data collected in a previous online survey done in 2018 among biomedical researchers working in leading European and Chinese universities. Respondents based in Europe were grouped into three geographical regions (northern Europe, southern Europe and northwestern Europe) and their responses were analyzed using logistic regression analysis with adjustments for demographic factors.
Results: Data were available from 810 respondents (265 northern Europe, 101 southern Europe, 444 northwestern Europe). In addition to their generally similar responses, different perceptions of plagiarism were observed among respondents in the three European regions. In summary, among the three European regions, Nordic respondents identified the most types of practices as plagiarism. Compared to the southern respondents, Nordic and northwestern respondents were more likely to consider less evident practices as plagiarism, such as Rephrasing another person's work without crediting the source [aOR 1.99 (95%CI 1.08;3.67), aOR 0.50 (95%CI 0.28;0.91)] and With permission from the original author, using another's text without crediting the source [aOR 3.16 (95%CI 1.90;5.25), aOR 0.26 (95%CI 0.16;0.42)]. In contrast, the southern respondents were the most inclined to recognize recycling of one's previously rejected research proposal as plagiarism.
Conclusions: In spite of a generally similar response pattern, the present study indicates different perceptions of plagiarism among European biomedical researchers. These intra-European differences should be considered when addressing plagiarism.

This article investigates whether English positive-negative alternating causal clauses and active-passive alternating syntactic structures make a difference in social event attribution of Chinese-L1 English-L2 learners. Results of sentence completion tasks show that there is no across-the-board language effect on attribution tendencies to the patient, the agent and the interactive parties, which are the constituents of the target sentences, but passive structures induce more attribution to the patient than its counterparts, and that L2 learners exhibit a gradience of attribution preferences for the patient, followed by the agent and the interactive parties in whichever clause or syntactic conditions. The causal reasoning patterns found in this study failed to support the claim of Linguistic Relativity, while validating the hypothesis regarding the patient-directed Causal Asymmetry Bias.

Plagiarism has long been a concern within the academic community. However, its prevalence and impact in the Middle Eastern context, particularly in Saudi Arabia, have not been sufficiently addressed. This study aims to investigate Saudi undergraduate students' perceptions of plagiarism in English as a foreign language (EFL) research writing during e-learning sessions and examine whether their academic levels, grade point average (GPA), and gender play a substantial role in affecting their perceptions of plagiarism.

Long-term reproducibility is one of the important problems that urgently need to be solved in the quantitative analysis of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). In this work, a new calibration method based on multi-period data fusion was proposed. Under the same experimental equipment and parameters, LIBS data collected at different times were fused together to establish calibration models.
