Abstract

Plagiarism is a significant problem for educational institutions around the globe. Previous research cantered on the perspectives of Indonesian students on knowledge and plagiarism in Indonesia and abroad, as well as the comprehension and attitudes of Indonesian teachers on plagiarism practices. However, little study on institutional rules against plagiarism has been completed in Indonesia, despite similar research being conducted elsewhere. This study intends to explore university regulations about plagiarism in Indonesia. To obtain the data, three examples of plagiarism were retrieved from university library websites. The data were then coded thematically and analysed. Despite institutional variations, the data revealed that the three papers are dominated by moral and regulatory discourse and lack an educational approach to plagiarism. These three university policy statements are deemed crucial for enhancing institutional understanding and attitudes about plagiarism. These results also demonstrate the difficulty and complexity of understanding plagiarism and the significance of academic socialization in establishing knowledge and attitudes around it. We contend that institutional anti-plagiarism regulations are unlikely to be effective because they do not promote academic literacy and intertextual practice among students.
