“…The best way to evaluate a tutorial, according to Lund and Pors, is to use student groups from different disciplines and study years [15]. An online self-study tutorial must be updated regularly, otherwise it will quickly be outdated and forgotten [14], [15]. We found in our review of online tutorials many that were outdated.…”

“…The incorporation of a self-study tutorial into a course requires a successful collaboration between librarians and teachers [13]. Mages and Garson [14] also emphasize the importance of the library collaborating with teachers and other crucial university staff members. An online self-study tutorial must be of high quality and be accessible, it also needs to be evaluated during and after the development phase to determine if the needs of the intended users are met [14].…”

In January 2014, a self-study tutorial for undergraduate students about how to avoid plagiarism and copyright issues was launched at Linköping University, Sweden. The self-study guide was developed by the Library in collaboration with the University's Disciplinary Board Committee.The purpose of NoPlagiat is that undergraduate students at Linköping University can learn on their own more about how to avoid plagiarism and learn more about copyright laws and understand how they may use other people's material.In this paper we wish to share our experience with the work of designing, promoting and updating the NoPlagiat tutorial. We also want to discuss how our expectations turned out in reality and the feedback we have gotten from our users.

“…Creating educational materials, such as digital tutorials, is also part of a well-rounded approach to combating plagiarism (Mages & Garson, 2010). The library website, in general, needs to be a place where students can get information about plagiarism, such as citation information and academic integrity policies (Sciammarella, 2009, p. 30).…”

“…Mages & Garson (2010) provide helpful information on developing and evaluating citation tutorials. If librarians don't have time to make their own materials, there are many instructional materials available on the web for free (ACRL's PRIMO [Peer-Reviewed Instructional Materials Online] database is a good place to start).…”

As educators and members of the academic community, reference librarians should take a proactive stance towards instructing students on the ethics of information use. The authors summarize best practices from the existing library literature, consider the context of ethical information use from a global perspective, and make an argument for the role of librarians. Our goal is to provide a guide for librarians attempting to successfully integrate ethical issues such as intellectual property and academic integrity into their reference instruction.

How accurate are cited references in Iranian peer‐reviewed journals?

The references cited in scientific articles are as important as any other part of the paper, because of their usefulness to the scientific community and to abstracting and indexing services and citation databases. I studied inaccuracies in references and in‐text citations in sample of 97 of the 519 peer‐reviewed journals accredited by the Iranian National Commission for Journal Accreditation Policy (Ministry of Research, Science and Technology). The target journals published 2,980 articles with 74,577 cited references and 108,151 in‐text citations. The results showed 36.6% as the average percentage error rate (range 5.6% to 61.3%). The mean number of errors in cited reference and in‐text citations was 2.7 per article, and the mean number of errors per journal was 690. For the entire sample of articles, 4,369 in‐text citations did not match any source in the list of references (4%), and 8,683 cited references did not match any in‐text citation (11.6%). The stakeholders in scholarly communication, especially authors, pay insufficient attention to the accuracy of bibliographic references. Peer‐reviewed journals should encourage the use of standardized journal policies and quality‐control measures regarding peer review, data quality and accuracy.
