Outdated Notion? : Teaching Plagiarism as Theft

Abstract

Since 2023, librarians from the University of New Mexico and The Ohio State University
have given several presentations on “Outdated Research Notions,” which are guidance
that is provided to students, or shared understandings about research practices,
that are no longer effective. This article, along with the companion piece “Outdated
Notion? Teaching Scholarly Articles as the Gold Standard,” by Adrienne Warner and
Alyssa Russo, provides an overview of an “outdated notion” that has generated
significant discussion among presentation participants. We share these as way to generate
conversation among librarians
